Flags of Dutch regions without administrative status

Public bodies

Flag Date Use Description
Flag of the Ommelanden The flag is very similar to the Frisian flag, but shows red heart shapes instead of pompeblêden. Both flags are regularly mixed up and are so similar due to the common past of Ommelanden and Friesland. However, the Ommelanden flag is older.
Flag of Eastergoa The flag design consists of five horizontal bands in the colors red and white.
September 2021 Flag of Salland The flag has a modern design and consists of five colours: light blue, green, yellow, dark blue and white. The light blue band at the top represents the sky, while the yellow and green at the bottom symbolize the fields and meadows. The green triangular area at the top right represents the Sallandse ridge. The color areas are mutually separated by white lines. The horizontal white line represents the horizon. On the right side of the flag is a vertical wavy blue band that represents both the letter S of Salland and the rivers that cross Salland.
1981 Flag of Twente The flag depicts a prancing white steed on a red background. The flag (designed by J.J. van Deinse) represents the so-called Saksenros (German: Sachsenross), and shows great similarity with the flag of Lower Saxony and the flag of North Rhine-Westphalia, two federal states in Germany, the flag of the British County of Kent and many other English and German towns and cities with an Anglo-Saxon origin.
Flag of Westergoa The flag design consists of a blue background which is split by a white diagonal band.
2008 Flag of West Frisia The flag has the color azure and on the flag are two facing lions of gold and five gold blocks.
3 March 1987 Flag of Het Westland The flag has different stripes with the colors light green and white. The lanes are serrated, so that they resemble the shape of the greenhouses, which are common in Westland (the glass city). The green stands for the plants that are frequently grown there, and the white for the greenhouses themselves. The bottom of the coat of arms of the municipality of Westland shows the same pattern with white and green.
5 January 2009 Flag of Zeelandic Flanders The proportions of the stripes are 1:1:1:6:1:1:1 and the border between the colored stripes and the yellow stripe is wavy. The top red stripes are from the flag of Sluis, while the bottom blue stripes are from the flag of Terneuzen. The stripes represent the North Sea, the Zwin and Westerschelde. The yellow stripe in the middle of the flag is charged with a black lion, recalling the flags of Flanders and Hulst, albeit without the red tongue and claws. The special design of the lion is not directly copied from existing weapons, but was specially designed so that it looks like a "young, robust and dynamic lion". The colors of the flag also recall the region's ties to both the Netherlands and Belgium.
Flag of Zevenwouden The flag consists of fifteen equal blocks in white and green. Together they form a checkered pattern.
2018 Flag of the Achterhoek The flag consists of a cream-coloured diagonally slightly curved cross that is bordered with a dark green border, and outside it two medium green and two light green triangles. The flag is inspired by the Achterhoek bocage landscape. The different shades of green represent the meadows and forests in the Achterhoek; the slightly curved white cross represents the winding roads of the Achterhoek with rows of trees along them.
2020 Flag of the Land van Maas en Waal Horizontal tricolor flag of sky blue, blue and green. In the center he carries a yellow field shield.[10]
Flag of the Veluwe The flag is yellow in color and has never been officially recognized. A blue horizontal band is included at the top and bottom. In the middle of the flag is a black silhouette of a jumping (red) deer. This is a common part in the Veluwe woods. The flag elements all originate from the flags of several municipalities that are (partly) located in the Veluwe.
2021 Flag of De Liemers The flag of De Liemers looks modern, is dark red in color and shows a red twisted Y-shape with white outline. This Y-shape is based on the regional borders and the connection to the rivers IJssel and Rhine. It is, as it were, a simplified form of this geographical whole. The red color has several meanings. For example, it stands for the designation 'to stand out', which is often attributed to this bright color. It also stands for enthusiasm, strength, love, passion and warmth. The Liemer flag is slightly similar to the Achterhoek regional flag. The white lines and the curved shape are reminiscent of it.
2022 Flag of Batavia The flag has a green background with three narrow vertical bands in red and blue on the mast side. These jobs are derived from the coat of arms of the noble family de Cocq van Haeften. They played an important role in the region during the Middle Ages. This coat of arms has also often been used as a source of inspiration for coats of arms of various (abolished) villages and towns in Batavia. The stripes symbolize all these places. The green background refers to the landscape of the region: lots of forest, heathland and other nature. Two wavy horizontal bands have been placed on this, which refer to the rivers Waal and Rhine. In the center of the flag are three silhouettes of apples. These refer to the three Batavia regions that make up the area: De Tielerwaard, Lower Batavia and Upper Batavia.
14 October 1987 Flag of Noord-Limburg The flag basically consists of two white bands and a narrower blue band. The blue stripe is split by a green shape that resembles both the capital letter G and the small letter E. It is unclear exactly how the flag came about.
Flag of Stellingwarfs White field with two red horizontal bands touching the upper and lower ends, and two grays of the same color in the middle, one facing and the other guarding.[11]
