Bremen’s Speckflagge and its maritime history

Known locally as the Speckflagge, Bremen’s striped flag has a long connection with the city’s maritime identity. A depiction of the striped design survives from 1661, while a Dutch shipping handbook illustrated a version with the familiar chequered hoist in 1695. The pattern later became a recognisable symbol of Bremen on land as well as at sea.
