Introduction

By the Treaty of Hamburg (1701), most of the territory went to Mecklenburg-Schwerin, while Mecklenburg-Strelitz comprised the principality of Ratzeburg in the northwest and the lordship of Stargard in the southeast. (...) The Congress of Viena in 1814-15 recognized them as grand duchies (...). The Nationalsocialist government in 1934 merged the two states into one Land. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica 1981, vol. VI, p. 742.

The Grand Duchies agreed to have the same flags, but seem never to get around to deciding which. Mecklenburg-Strelitz without a seacoast did not need sea flags.

Standard of the Grand Duke c.1897-1918

Grossherzogsstandarte

2:3
by Theo van der Zalm

Horizontal tricolor blue-white-red. In the center offset slightly to hoist a white rectangle slightly overlapping red and blue stripes with the greater arms of Mecklenburg.

Norman Martin, 3 March 1998

According to Siebmacher 1878 the grand dukes of Mecklenburg-Strelitz used the blue-yellow-red flag with just the (oval) shield of Mecklenburg in the yellow band. (...) Ströhl 1897 and Neubecker 1933 assign the former Schwerin standard with the white panel to the grand duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
