Hamburger Lloyd

It is not the flag of Hamburger Lloyd itself, but according to Nuesse a flag of a companies subsidiary.
It is a horizontal 9-stripes flag with alternating black and yellow stripes starting with a black one. In the canton is a black bear in a red field. So probably the company was a Berlin branch. Hamburger Lloyd had been an inline-shipping company.
Source: I spotted this flag on 28 May 2004 in a pub in St.Pauli. The flag was identified with the help of Josef Nuesse, Drochtersen on 25 September 2007.

Another branch of this inland shipping company, established at Hamburg, flying a similar flag with a red canton bearing the well-known castle in white.
See the Binnenvaart site - house flag as a drawing on the 'Sabrit' page (scroll down to the little camera logo near '1975 Alpenbüttel' which links to a photo showing the flag flying prominently):
- drawing plus photo of 'Alchimist Emden' flying two HL flags: one on the bow, the other on a movable mast.
