I have seen another flag hoisted upon the boat-house. I believe it is the company-flag of the "Deutsche Shell AG". The flag is white with a yellow vertical stripe (3-times width) and a vertical red stripe at the hoist and the well-known scallop in the fly.

bicolour variant
image by Klaus-Michael Schneider, 04 Apr 2011
Description of flag:
It is ared over yellow horizontal bicolour with the club's logo in the centre.
Description of logo:
A modified coat of arms of the city of Hamburg is placed upon a shield divided per bend sinister into red and yellow, the club's colours. The whole is superimposing a pair of crossed oars showing the colours of the club's blade (see below).
The existence of this flag seems doubtful. It might be used by the DRV in order to substitute missing information.
