The obverse of the pennant shows a black cross on white, derived from the cross of the Teutonic order. In the upper and lower hoist corner there are six coats-of-arms in three rows of two each. First row:

• yellow field, black eagle, armed red with white crescent with cross on the chest (for Silesia);
• white field, red eagle with yellow clover leaves on the wings, armed yellow, crowned with an electoral cap, holding a yellow sceptre and a sword proper, supporting on its chest a small blue escutcheon with an electoral sceptre (for Brandenburg).

• white field, a red griffin armed yellow (for Pomerania);
• blue field, yellow demi-eagle hovering over a yellow scythe and a pair of crossed mining hammers, also yellow (for Upper Silesia).

• red field, a golden crown over two golden crosslets (for Danzig);
• white field, a black elk's antler (unofficially used coat-of-arms for East Prussia).

The reverse is black, shows the Odal rune emblem in silver-gray, in the canton the inscription "Bezirksgruppe Münster" in white. Along the edges of the obverse as well as the reverse there is a red border.
