The ensign (see left image above) was a black-white-red horizontal tricolour like the German merchant ensign until 1918. The burgee (see right image above) was red parted by a white saltire, charged in its centre by a black disc. The club has nothing to do with Hamburger Yacht-Club, which was established much later in 1961.
