No, sorry you are wrong. It's the german flag in the colours Black red gold here in the hanging civilian use.

I can assure you it wouldn't be approved if it wasn't the german flag. Besides the uploader is from Germany.

Well, i stand corrected.
I wasn't even aware, there was a "civilian use" of flags.
While i grew up in Germany, I never saw the flag rotated like this. It was always horizontal; black on top.
