Description

's-Hertogenbosch Flag

Red and white stripes, with a golden tree on black: the flag of 's-Hertogenbosch

This flag has five horizontal stripes of equal height, three red and two white. In the top corner by the pole sits a black square with a golden tree.

What the description says

The Dutch description reads «De huidige vlag bestaat uit vijf even hoge horizontale banen». The flag is 2:3, and the black canton is half the height of the flag and one third of its width. The council decided on 23 September 1999 that the flag of the municipality should be changed,.

Five stripes for five municipalities

The red and white refer to the Maasland, the region where the former municipalities of Empel en Meerwijk and Rosmalen lay, and the Maasland's colours are also red and white. The five stripes match the five former municipalities now merged into 's-Hertogenbosch: 's-Hertogenbosch itself, Empel en Meerwijk, Rosmalen, Engelen and Bokhoven. The five branches of the tree refer to them as well.

The oldest symbol of the city

According to the historian Sierksma the tree is the oldest known symbol of the city, dating from the first half of the thirteenth century. Earlier flags of the city were a two-band red and white flag with the full arms in 1857, and from 1957 a flag with seven red and white bands and the same black canton with the tree.

Who chooses it

For anyone from Den Bosch, Rosmalen or Empel, or with roots in Brabant; for those who live far away and carry their city with them; for carnival groups, clubs, associations and local businesses; for fans of the city and of the Bossche bol. We sew it to order, in the size and fabric you choose above, and you see the delivery date before you pay.
