Flag Reichsbanner Schutzformation (SF) Schutzsport Nürnberg-Süd

[Sergeant 08]

Another rarer flag from the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold. This organization tried to defend the Weimarer Republik against enemies from the left (KPD/Roter Frontkämpferbund) and from the right wing (NSDAP/SA/SS).

The paramilitary unit of the Reichsbanner were the Schutzformationen (SF). They practized military sports (Wehrsport). Later they called it Schutzsport.

This a flag from a Schutzsportabteilung of the Schutzformationen Nürnberg-Süd.

I think especially in the streets of Nürnberg the SF members had to be very fit, because I'm sure they had a lot of trouble with the NSDAP.

Hello Sergeant 08:

for posting some nice photos of the flag.

Tried to find a photo, that shows such a flag. I had no luck. I have only found the known flags of the local Reichsbanner groups.

Can you help?

PS: My SF armband.

Sorry, yours is the first example I've
seen, either now or in period photos.

Look at the photo #2! Schutzsport sportsmen on the left with a pennant. Perhaps one of the guys in the background wears such a Schutzsport flag. We will never know it.

Thanks for showing this rare material, it's appreciated!

No problem!

Most stuff from other organizations (others than NSDAP etc.) are not so popular. But such items are much rarer and very interesting. Many, many pieces were destroyed after 1933.

Ditto that, as such it was a surprise, at least to me,
to see your Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold all red
flag of the Schutzsportabteilung Nürnberg-Süd.

It looks like the flag from the "Rote Marine" Roter Frontkämpferbund in Hamburg.

What is the name, which is covered by the ribbon at the flag held by SA?

Wim, please look at the other photo! The lettering is R.M.KAM. I think "Rote Marine Kameradschaft". Why was it covered? No idea. I guess, there was the same inscription on all flags of the Rote Marine. Surely the only difference was the name of the city.
