Description

Groningen Flag

White, green, white: the flag of the city of Groningen

This flag has three horizontal bands of equal height: white at the top, green in the middle and white at the bottom. There is no emblem.

What the sources say

The Dutch article describes the flag as a rectangle with three horizontal bands of equal height, with a ratio of 2:3. It also says something unusual: the flag has not (yet) been formally fixed as the definitive flag of the city and municipality of Groningen. The three-band form is first recorded in 1879, and in 1897 Mayor Modderman wrote that the flag of the municipality consists of three bands of equal width, a green one in the middle and white ones outside.

The colours of the prefects

As for the coat of arms, the colours come from the arms of the prefects of Groningen. From the seventeenth century Groningen flags and banners often used the city arms, sometimes combined with green and white.

A flag inside a province flag

In 1950 the flag of the province of Groningen was partly derived from the city flag: the green and white of the city form the central cross of the provincial flag.
