Introduction

Name: Ruder-Club Neumünster e.V.
Located in: Neumünster (Schleswig-Holstein)

The club was established on 30 November 1909 as Ruderverein Neumünster. After the end of WW1 the club acquired the boat house of the Schleswig-Holstein Regattaverein, and the rowers from Kiel withdrew. It should be a home for all kinds of water sports, and the club was renamed to Wassersport-Verein Neumünster on 24 May 1919. After WW2 only rowers remained in the boathouse. As a result the club was again renamed in 1950 and has since then the current name.

Flags of the Club

Flag of Ruder-Club Neumünster e.V.

The flag is a red over white horizontal bicolour and obviously inspired by the flag of the city of Neumünster. In the centre of the flag is the coat of arms of the city, but the upper half in iverted colours. There are black capital letters "R" (upper hoist), "C" (lower hoist) and "N" (in the middle of the fly).
The shield is counterchanged and divided per fess. The upper half is white with 5 red chimneys, the lower half is red with a white swan with spread wings and a yellow coronet bearing it like a collar, the swan is topped by a white nettleleaf (from the coat of arms of the Dukes of Holstein).

The flag was a horizontal red-white bicolour. The white flaghead was charged with the former arms of the city of Neumünster with an additional black caption "RV" above and "N" beneath. The old arms of Neumünster had been more or less the lower half of the current ones, displaying only the swan and the nettle leaf of Holstein.
