About the Flag

At Binnenvaartsite at http://www.debinnenvaart.nl/schependb/rederijvlaggentabel.php is a Rhenus houseflag: blue with a white diamond with a black sans serif "R". However, according to the same site, at http://www.debinnenvaart.nl/schependb/inhoud.php?action=tel&id=2676 is the ship Rhenus 125, owned by Rhenus Schiffahrt AG in Basel, Switzerland, now the Liberty Anne, owned by United Cruise in Arnhem (probably a daytripper on the Rhine, or as Kees Kleinendorst used to say: a mozart)

Jarig is quite right in pointing to the R-in-diamond flag as a precursor of the current Rhenus house flag. My new source “Flaggen auf dem Rhein” (1952 ed.) confirms this on p. 61 by showing one and the same flag for:
- “Rhenus” Aktiengesellschaft für Schiffahrt und Spedition, Basel (i.e. Co. „Rhenus“ for Shipping and Forwarding, Ltd, Basle)
- Rhenus, Gesellschaft für Schiffahrt, Spedition und Lagerei m.b.H., Mannheim (i.e. Rhenus, Co. for Shipping, Forwarding and Warehousing Ltd, Mannheim).

The ‘Marcollect’ site shows a collection of Stinnes-related house flags (table flag format) in which our two Rhenuses (meaning the old flag and the new one) are represented: http://www.marcollect.de/Flaggen_Bin.Schiffahrt.html

Third photo from top, Klaus-Peter Bühne differencing between the “Swiss Rhenus” (with ‘R’ in blue however) and the “German Rhenus” (with slanted ‘L’).
