No worries, we can just change the locks.

Our blessed Bremen / Their barbarous Hamburg

Our glorious BSAG / Their wicked HVV

Our noble Obernstraße / Their backward Mönckebergstraße

Our heroic Viertel / Their brutish Schanze

That must be a 14th century hanging flag for the stern of a vessel.

Weird that the key is kinda both a secular empowerment of the city's council against the bishop, but on the other hand supposedly meaning 'keys to heaven'.
