Introduction to Regional Rowing Associations and Federations

Regatta clubs have only one purpose. They organise boat races. The range of a regatta club differs from a state, a region, one or more rivers down to a single location. Their members are local rowing clubs. Sometimes the regional organisation (Landesruderverband) organises races instead. Here only "pure" regatta clubs are listed.

The current flag (see left image above) is white with yellow edges at top and bottom. Shifted to hoist is a blue inscription "ERRV" with full name insmaller black letters below. Alongside the "V" is a half yellow rowing boat with two oars.

The former flag (see right image above) was white with blue edges at top and bottom. On centre was a yellow disc with blue edge, having a yellow circumscription: "ESSENER RUDER REGATTA VEREIN e.V.". The whole composition is shaped like a 7-spokes wheel. The nave is a small blue inscription "ER"(1st line),"RV"(2nd line). The spokes are blue blades with the pattern of the seven rowing clubs, being memberrs of this regattaclub.
Those are clockwise from top:
  • 1) Essen Werdener RC ("W" between 2 stripes)
  • 2) Kettwiger RG (triangular pennant with voided 6-point star pointing to end of blade)
  • 3) RC am Baldenaeysee (3 intertwined rings in a rectangle)
  • 4) ETuF (triangular pennant with 3 intertwined rings between 2 stripes pointing to end of blade)
  • 5) RR TV Kupferdreh 1877 (rectangle parted per saltire)
  • 6) Steeler RV (3 intertwined rings between 2 stripes)
  • 7) RR Mark (Latin cross)

The flags of the clubs can be seen on our page German Rowing Cubs in Essen.
The 3 intertwined rings are the trade mark of Krupp steel, a company, which promoted (not only) rowing in the region.

The former pennant (see right image above) was nearly the same flag, but before WW1 the diamonds had been lozenges instead.
