For further information click: club webpage.
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 26 Nov 2007

I am afraid this is not borne out by the picture: the oars might well be present in the club´s flag but do not appear here. Rather we are shown a former Bayer brand (Leverkusen, named after chemist Carl Leverkus, was the definite seat of the world famous Bayer chemical factory). See this page dedicated to those symbols (in English): "To illustrate the company's globally successful business operations, the next modification followed in 1895: A lion with wings(my emphasis, jm) and the symbolic staff of Mercury rose up over the globe. But foreign customers could make no sense of the image. Furthermore, the company´s proper name - "Farbenfabriken vorm. Friedr. Bayer & Co." - was unpronounceable for them. This was partly the reason why a second corporate emblem was added in 1904: the Bayer Cross. This logo was not only legible in every language of the world, but was also recognisable to everyone due to its striking graphic design."
Jan Mertens, 2 Dec 2007

Although today the "old" flag (see left image above), is in use again, in 2004 a simpler variant (see right image above) was reported. It was a blue()-white-blue(dark) horizontal triband. The white stripe had double height and a black inscription as follows: shifted to fly were letters "RTHC". At hoist was the logo of the main sponsor, Bayer Chemicals, the so called Bayer-Cross. It shows the inscription "BAYER" horizontally and vertically with ca ommon "Y", all surrounded by a black annulet. (p.239)
