I followed the drawing attached to the Law and regulation, and some more detailed specifications in the regulation itself. (...) The border of the car flag for ministers and prime minister is black 1/16th of the flag's width and red another 1/16th of the flag's width. Regarding the black fimbriation around the coat-of-arms there is no regulation, but I reconstructed it after the drawing in the Law.

Order of 22 October 1953 (Ministerialblatt 1954, no. 27): triangular pennant (16 × 24 [cm]) with the national colors and arms near hoist. Source: Roger Harmignies, article in Vexilla Belgica, issue 11, 1987.

Jaume Ollé, 29 July 1999

I followed the drawing attached to the Law and regulation, and some more detailed specifications in the regulation itself. (...) Regarding the black fimbriation around the coat-of-arms there is no regulation, but I reconstructed it after the drawing in the Law. "Police president" (Polizeipräsident) is the chief of the police in a large city. I am not sure how large the city has to be to have a Polizeipräsident, but there are certainly several of them in any of the larger Länder of Germany.
