A yellow-red-yellow triband. In use as civil flag of the Grand Duchy of Baden from 1891-1925. Readopted as Landesflagge of the State of (South) Baden c.1947. Abolished as a result of the merger into Baden-Württemberg 25 April 1952.
Norman Martin, May 1998
The flag of the former Land Baden has no official status today.
M. Schmöger, 14 August 2000
The official name of the land formed in the southern part of Baden from 1945 to 1952 is Land Baden not Land Südbaden. The term Südbaden is occasionally and unofficially used to provide a clearer distinction between this Land and the larger geographical entity that is normally meant when speaking of Baden.

It is a yellow - red -yellow vertical triband (reverse shown) with arms in the centre of the banner.

Later in Hormann and Plaschke 2006 there are banners of the predecessors of Baden-Württemberg: All have arms. But the caption is somehow indifferent saying: "Independent from 1945 to 1952, arms and state flags of Württemberg Hohenzollern, (South) Baden, Württemberg-Baden. So in the end those flags are doubtful. In case of South Baden we have evidence from source above, which shows however the other flags without arms.
Nevertheless the arms should be described here (numbers corresponding with flags above:

The golden (= yellow) shield is divided by a red bend and topped by a margrave's coronet.

These three are reproductions from Schroeder 1953 where you can find a whole series of hanging flags of the states, plus those of East German states (but with
the pre-1933 arms) and Eastern territories under Soviet or Polish administration. The whole series is therefore very doubtful what regards the details. However, it is rather plausible that at least some usage of Württemberg-Baden flags with arms occurred.
