Raschau-Markersbach Flag

It is a white flag with a green vertical stripe alongside the hoist and the arms of Raschau in the white field shifted to the fly. The flag is unofficial and actually an invention of the DGF, as the annual meeting in 2018 took place in Langenberg, which belongs to Raschau-Markersbach.

Meaning:
