Leeuwarden Flag

Blue and yellow stripes: the city flag of Leeuwarden

This flag has four horizontal stripes of equal height, alternately blue and yellow, with blue at the top and yellow at the bottom.

The 1947 flag

The Dutch article says the municipal flag of Leeuwarden was fixed for the first time on 1 August 1947: «Deze vlag bestond uit 4 banen van gelijke hoogte in de kleuren blauw en geel». The colours are taken from those of the municipal coat of arms, which are blue and yellow.

Older than the decision

Around 1700 Gerrit Hesman documented the four-stripe flag. Before 1947 the citizens used a flag with two equal bands of yellow and blue.

Two flags today

On 29 March 2019 the mayor and aldermen adopted a new municipal flag, blue with a yellow rampant lion and two bands of red and white along the hoist. The article states that the well-known blue and yellow flag remains as the city flag (stadsvlag) of Leeuwarden, and that is the flag shown here.

For anyone from Leeuwarden or Friesland, or with roots in the Frisian capital; for those who live far away and carry their city with them; for the city's clubs, associations and local businesses; for supporters of the city's teams and for visitors who fell for the old town. We sew it to order, in the size and fabric you choose above, and you see the delivery date before you pay.
