As the Silesian youth groups mainly contained the Lower Silesians, there were also specific Upper Silesian groups. The obverse of this pennant is divided blue over yellow; at the hoist there is the provincial coat-of-arms of Upper Silesia —blue field, yellow demi-eagle hovering over a yellow scythe and a pair of crossed mining hammers, also yellow—; the inscriptions "O/S Jugend" —short for "Oberschlesische Jugend"— and "Münster" in the fly are in counterchanged colours. The reverse is divided yellow over blue —the provincial colours—; in the fly there are the inscriptions "Gruppe" and "St. Barbara" in counterchanged colours; at the hoist there is a representation of Saint Barbara —the patron-saint of the miners— on a blue rectangular field. She is clothed in gray with a red cloak, hands and face in natural colours; the crown is golden, she holds a silver sword and a golden chalice with a shining silver cross.
