2. It's the Federal Service's Flag ("Bundesdienstflagge")

So it will be flown in front of Federal institutions, (President, Federal Chancellor / Chancellery, Federal Ministries, Federal Police, other Federal Institutions). The Flags used by the Navy and the Army are minor variations of the Service Flag.

I don't know if the Federal Assembly will fly it, but I think so - usually Parliament flows the normal Federation Tricolor.

Flying the Service Flag is actually illegal, unless you happen to be a Federal Institution ;-) .

Edit:
Example for the Service Flag being flown: http://www.smev.de/flags/video/de_diens.avi ;-)
