Ivan Sache, 6 June 2002

Steinhuder Meer is in the territory of the former state of Schaumburg-Lippe. According to this webpage:
"In 1761, count Wilhelm started the construction of Wilhelmstein, a fortress on an artificial island in the Steinhuder Meer. (The military school in this fortress was later to produce the famous General Scharnhorst.)"
White-red-blue are the colours of this former 'Land', which are still used nowadays and probably this is why they appear on the escutcheon of the Segel-Club Steinhuder Meer, with the slight change of placing them diagonally.
