A collector friend in Germany had this to say ;
Event may have been ‘Heldengedenktag’ (day to remember the war heroes).

I can see just one flag with a hint to origin: Saxony.
Another Standarte has parade sashes with a distinctive pattern,- could be determined.

Here is the 2 Garde Dragoon Parade Banner which I think
is the one shown in the photo.
I wish the photo was sharper and had better contrast
But it all that I have .
I can't find much on Saxon Cavalry flags
there is one to the right.

Thank you, for showing this nice picture,

Only three cavalry regiments received a parade band with this Russian design.

- Kurassier-Regiment Kaiser Nikokaus I von Russland (Brandenburgischen) Nr.6
- 2 Garde Dragoner Regiment.
- Ulanen-Regiment Kaiser Alexander II von Russland (1. Brandenburgischens) Nr.3

By the colour, and the letter A on the end of the ribbon we can be sure that it is the standard of the 2.Garde Dragoner Rgt. as you pointed out.

Here we can see the Bavarian cavalry banners.

This is most likely "Waffentag der deutschen Kavallerie", in Dresden in Summer 1931.

Following its accession to the North German Confederation in 1867 and the conclusion of military agreements with Prussia, Saxony became a member of the German Empire in 1871.

A peculiarity after the union was that the Saxon cavalry did not carry standards. That is why it is difficult to see banners during the reign of Wilhelm II.

Only at some important celebrations the old banners were taken out of the museums.

Here we can see the standard of the Garde-Reiter-Regiments carried until 1849.



And three more banners from the Armeemuseum of Dresden.

Here is a follow up to this photo.
I was looking at the Deutsches Soldatenjahrbuch 1984 # 32
I saw this photo
Cavalry Day Dresden 1931
to me it looks like the same flags from a different view
that would explain the old Saxon cavalry flags
