I made my drawings not from Meyers Neues Lexikon directly, but from my old notes taken about 10 years ago. I may have been wrong with proportions, ratio, small details (for example, cord of anchor) etc.

Victor Lomantsov's image is from Meyers Neues Lexikon which I consider somewhat more reliable than my fading memory. (...) If we use today's Weisse Flotte Potsdam flag as a reference for both the Deutsche Binnenreederei and the Weisse Flotte flag, the ratio would be 1:4:1. I would say we go with Meyers Neues Lexikon.

Deutsche Binnenreederei AG was established in 1989 as the successor of VEB Deutsche Binnenreederei, a DDR shipping company. The flags of both are similar. Today the company has two main branches in Berlin and in Hamburg (Rödingsmarkt 26). The company became recently a member of Odratrans group. The information was given by Mr. H.Tominski.

Deutsche Oderschiffahrtsgesellschaft

The following site (in German), dedicated to East German inland shipping, has the DOS represented: Founded in 1949, DOS or ‘Deutsche Oderschiffahrtsgesellschaft’ (i.e. German Oder Shipping Co. – named after the River Oder) operated barges identified by a white triangle, one point up, placed on a red background.  Vessels’ bows showed this emblem but it also appeared on a pennant.

A growing tendency towards centralization led to the merger of DOS with DSU or ‘Deutsche Schiffahrts- und Umschlagszentrale’ (i.e. German Shipping and
Transhipment Central) in 1957 to form ‘Deutsche Binnenreederei’ (i.e. German Inland Shipping Co.).
