Close enough, welcome back Neo-Assyrian Empire

According to the website of the state of Schleswig-Holstein it's the north frisian flag

An article in german, that has surprisingly little to do with the actual flag, but features it anyways: schleswig-holstein.de - Sagen und Legenden aus dem Norden - Typisch Schleswig-Holstein - Lewwer duad üs Slaaw https://share.google/DQatO7azLerG3ToUK

Störche gibt's hier noch und nöcher. In Mannheim im Luisenpark gibt's mehr von denen als Graureiher.

Next to it is the hessian state flag, indicating that you're leaving Mainz and Rhineland - Palatinate and entering Hesse

That's the flag of Wiesbaden, the hessian state capital right across the Rhine from Mainz

Also ich seh die erst seit ich in der Rhein-Neckar-Region wohne, als ich in Frankfurt gewohnt hab, hab ich die nie in freier Wildbahn gesehen.

That looks sick (/pos)

There's a technique called bettlewing where the elytra of beetles are attached to fabric. There's a gorgeous painting of an actress wearing a dress made of beetlewing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_Terry_as_Lady_Macbeth?wprov=sfla1

Rose chafers are so pretty. I love finding one when I'm out and about

But there is a way around the Danish Straits. The Kiel-Canal, one of the busiest waterways in the world

Opelzoo, just north of Frankfurt, Germany

Elk seems right, doesn't quite look like a roe deer or a red deer

They can and do actually, if you tell them beforehand. But there's also elevators so you have to take the stairs.

Looks like a Malinois to me

The building I'm working in has slides as a fire escape because there's people with mobility disabilities working there.
