WYKER DAMPFSCHIFFS-REEDEREI FÖHR-AMRUN GMBH.

The old flag is a black-white-red triband with black W.D.R. lettering, recorded in Massary 1930 and Lloyd Reedereiflaggen 1933. Rosanoski rejects its placement with Westdeutsche Reederei or Wesemeyer in an FOTW index: it belongs to Wyker. The accompanying cigarette-album research supports the old flag’s source, although the exact position of the image in the album was not known to the contributor.

The later flag retains the tricolour of Germany’s pre-First World War merchant flag and adds a canton described as an East Frisian tricolour. Klaus-Michael Schneider believed the canton was added no earlier than 1945 but did not know the date. The company history did not establish when the change occurred.
