This yacht club might have initially been related to the Wandervogel(lit.: migratory bird), a youth movement founded in Berlin-Steglitz by Karl Fischer in 1896. The movement organized walks in the countryside and had more than 45,000 members in 1914.

Warnemünder Segel-Club 1925 e.V., located in Rostock-Warnemünde.

Segelclub Wassenberg-Roermond e.V.

Horizontally striped pennant, green-white-red-white-blue in proportions 3:1:1:1:3, two white rectangle triangles at the hoist and the letters SWR in white near the fly. Wassenberg is located on the river Rur, close to the Dutch border. When crossing the border, the river Rur changes its name for Roer, and is tributary off the river Maas in Roermond (lit.: the mouth of the Roer). The flag of Roermond is horizontally divided white-blue - I assume the flag of Wassenberg is green and white, the red stripe being added in the middle of the yacht club burgee as the common colour between the German and Dutch national flags.

Württembergischer Yacht-Club

Santiago Dotor wrote: One of the clubs linked is the Württembergischer Yacht-Club, whose website includes this page with its history and a nice variant of the German pre-1918 flag used as club flag (possibly as club ensign?)
It sure looks like a special ensign !
