Introduction
With the 1982 regulation two of the three
types of car flags were abolished, at least de jure. Only the
second type survived. Up to 1982 this was the car
flag for special occasions used by the Senatssyndizi, that had
been renamed in the meanwhile to Staatsräte. This car flag now shall
be used for 'representative occasions' both by senators and state secretaries.
According to Hertenstein 1985 (Jörg
Hertenstein, Die Flaggen des Bundeslandes Hamburg, in Hamburgische
Geschichts- und Heimatblätter no. 11, pp. 153-158, 1985) the old car
flags of the two other types, although legally abolished, were still in
stock, albeit rarely used, in June 1984.

Description
This is a rectangular flag, 18 × 25 cm, in the federal
colours, containing a red-bordered white field with the greater
arms in the centre. The white field measures 8.5 × 8.5 cm and the borders
are 1.25 cm wide. This flag, called a Stander, shall be used on
special representative occasions only, on the cars of the Senators (Senatoren),
which is the designation of the ministers in Hamburg, and Senatsräte
(State Councillors) which are basically the same as the Staatssekretäre
(state secretaries) in other Länder, i.e. the deputies of the senators.
