Name: Karlsruher Rheinclub Alemannia e.V.
Located in: Karlsruhe
Established: 14 July 1901
The white flag (see left image above) is divided by a blue cotised centred cross. It is superimposed in its centre by a white 6-point star in a blue cotised disc. The canton is divided by a blue saltire. In its quarters are blue inscriptions: "K" (top), "R" (hoist), "A" (fly) and "1901" (bottom). The blue flag (see right image above), reported 2010, is same like the white flag but having inverted colours. The existence of this flag might be doubtful. It is perhaps just a blueprint or negative of the white flag.
