[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 78259, member: 44"]>...flag on the right ... Berlin city flag...< Good idea, Spring, on that right hand flag. I think it is Berlin. It does have the narrow stripes on the side and an animal in the middle. Nowwww, I found a vertical variant of the Berlin flag with the bear facing a narrow stripe. The results are that the bear's front rearing paws are nearly on a narrow stripe as well as one of his hind legs, paw, facing in the same direction.
