I don't profess to be an expert but I think the black is for NSBO (see posts starting at #14). The prior posts show NSDAP Orts group flags with brown and blue piping.

The flag is for an area called Baumbach, and nothing to do with the famous bomber pilot Wener Baumbach.
From Wikipedia:-
Ransbach-Baumbach is a town in the Westerwaldkreis in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Ransbach-Baumbach is the seat of the Verbandsgemeinde of Ransbach-Baumbach, a kind of collective municipality.
The community lies in the Westerwald about 10 km northwest of Montabaur, and 15 km northeast of Koblenz.
In 1330, the parish of Ransbach had its first documentary mention. Already in 959, however, the Montabaurer Zehntbeschreibung (a “description of tithes”), speaks of the vanished community of Desper (Dedinsburg) near Ransbach. In 1373, the name Babenbach for Baumbach crops up. In 1969, Ransbach and Baumbach were merged into one community. In 1971, in the course of municipal restructuring, the Verbandsgemeinde of Ransbach-Baumbach was founded. In 1975, Ransbach-Baumbach was granted town rights.
