![[Hamburg commerce (Germany)]](../images/d/de-hhse1841.gif)
image by Klaus-Michael Schneider, 1 Jan 2009
Source:
The image is taken from a lithography by Peter Suhr, showing the closing of the old Hamburg Stock Exchange on 4 December 1841. The flag is hanging among other German and non-German national flags. The purpose is doubtful, but it must have to do something with commerce and trade. So it might be the flag of the stock exchange or of a kind of chamber of commerce.
Description of flag:
It is a white flag with a red castle in its centre. Above the castle is a black embowed Gothic inscription in Latin: "Floreat Commercium" (= "trade may flourish").
