    Limburger CfW

    Name: Limburger Club für Wassersport 1895/1907 e.V.
    Located in: Limburg/Lahn
    Established: 1 January 1895

    Historical Topics:
    In November 1895 the Limburger Ruderverein(LRV) was established in the Zur Post inn. On 22 August 1907 the Limburger Ruderklub(LRK) was established at the same place. Tensions in the Klub ended in the foundation of a 3rd club. The Limburger Rudergesellschaft(LRG) was established on 20 April 1920. In September 1944 all three boathouses had been destroyed or seriously damaged by allied bombing. The clubs resurrection began in 1946. And on 13 August 1948 LRK and LRG celebrated their reunion merging with the Paddler-Vereinigung Limburg (canoeing), forming the new Limburger Club für Wassersport von 1907 e.V.. On 28 October 1983 the LRV joined the new club for financial reasons. Since then the club has its current name. The flags of LRK and LRG are not known.
    It is a white flag divided by a blue saltire with black fimbriation. In the canton are three silver towers from the city´s coat of arms superimposing blue over orange horizontal bicolour (see left image above) in colours of Nassau or a blue over red horizontal bicolour (see right image above), probably symbolising the LRV and the CfW07. Both have black capital letters and numbers in the white fields: "L"(top), "C"(hoist), "W"(fly) and "1895/1907"(bottom).
