Bornholmsflaget

The flag of Bornholm emerged in the mid-1970s after a design by local painter , and is used to some extent.[1][2] Mainly as a souvenir bought by tourists, military units while on exercise in Denmark and on foreign missions, and by mainly German sailors visiting Bornholm. It is the Danish flag with a green Nordic cross in the centre.[3] The green is said to symbolize the natural greenery of the island.[4] The other variant resembles Norway's Flag, except with a green inner cross.

Despite its appreciation, the flag is not officially recognized.
