The Nordschleswigscher Ruderverband (NRV/Danish NRK) has only 6 members. The NRV is member of the DFfR (Danish Rowing Association) and the members of the NRV are rowing clubs of the German minority in Denmark and members of Deutscher Ruderverband (DRV). Some clubs have been established very early, only a few years after Nordschleswig was ceded by Germany to Denmark. The first one was probably Germania Sonderburg. The NRV however was established on 5 January 1952. Like German rowing clubs the members of NRV have ensigns (rectangular flags) while the usual Danish rowing clubs have pennants (triangular flags).
The flag of Nordschleswigscher Ruderverband is a dark blue (FIAV-Code B++) over yellow bicolour pennant. In the upper hoist is a yellow inscription "NRV". The colours are those of the Duchy of Schleswig. There is a garland of white oak leaves superimposed by two red oars in saltire. The garland is shifted to the hoist. The oak is the tree of the Germans while the red colour of the oars belongs to Denmark.
