Description

Haarlem Flag

Red, with a sword, a cross and four stars: the flag of Haarlem

This flag is red. Toward the pole stands a white sword pointing upward, with a gold hilt. Above it is a small white cross with broad arms, and beside it are four white six-pointed stars, two on each side of the sword, one above the other.

What the official description says

The flag was fixed on 18 June 1975 as the municipal flag of Haarlem and is based on the municipal coat of arms. The official wording is «Rood met een wit zwaard, met een geel gevest, vergezeld boven van een wit verkort breedarmig kruis, en aan de broek- en vluchtzijde van twee witte zespuntige sterren boven elkaar». The sword stands away from the hoist at a distance equal to half the height of the flag.

An old sea flag

A flag of Haarlem appears in a Neapolitan flag book of 1667 that describes flags for use at sea. It is similar to the present flag but simpler, showing only the sword, point downward, and two stars. The article notes that because Haarlem had lost its harbour by the seventeenth century, this flag must be older. The historian Sierksma described it as «Rood, met op het midden van wit een puntig zwaard, naar beneden gericht».

Who chooses it

For anyone from Haarlem, Heemstede or Zandvoort, or with roots in Kennemerland; for those who live far away and carry their city with them; for the municipality and its ceremonies, for clubs, associations and local businesses; for fans of the city and its history. We sew it to order, in the size and fabric you choose above, and you see the delivery date before you pay.
