Maasdriel municipality

Maasdriel Coat of Arms

Granted 18 Aug 2000.

Maasdriel former flag

Maasdriel is a municipality in the Bommeler Waard, just north of 's Hertogenbosch. Its proper name should be Driel, but there is another village with the same name (in Heteren municipality), so it was given the adjective of the river it lies on in 1943.
The flag was adopted 8 June 1956, derived from the municipal Coat of Arms

never officially adopted.

Heerewaarden [Former Municipality]

The triangle should be RED instead of orange
The church (from the coats of arms) should be YELLOW instead of white.
I'm the one that can know it, because I designed the flag about 20 years ago.

Rossum [Former Municipality]

The parrot is from the seal of Gerard van Rossem (1276) and has always been used by the van Rossum family, the most significant person being Maarten van Rossum (1478-1555).
