The Bennebroek flag was adopted by council decision on April 13, 1972 as the municipal flag.
A horizontal triband of red, yellow and red, with ratio 5:2:5.
The flag is the same as the municipal coat of arms.
The municipal flag remained in use until January 1, 2009, on which day the municipality was merged into the municipality of Bloemendaal, which meant that its use as a municipal flag was discontinued.

An image by Mark Sensen image at shows pre-1996 specs of 217 px high with the
yellow stripe s thicker than the 1/6th mentioned in the
Dutch Wikipedia article, which references a
local newspaper
( ratio 5:2:5), but ultimately an unclear source and authority.
The source
Shipmate Flagchart was given for our
previous
image. This website is (was?) mantained by Gerard van der Vaart, who
published eight editions of The Flagchart, a well known source - see [vdv00] and
foll. in our Bibliography and its new website at
http://flagchart.net/flagchar.htm.
This chart didn’t cover local flags,
though, and the source for this image with its middle stripe thicker than
1/6th (about 1/5th — exactly 86+44+87) is
http://flagchart.net/gemh09nh.htm
which makes me think that the author of our original image was Gerard, not
Mark.
The image above is in FotW standard colors but with the newly
reported 5+2+5 stripes.

The coat of arms (see http://www.ngw.nl/b/bennebro.htm)
dates from 1816, but was in disuse in 1968. Since then it has been readopted,
and the new flag (adopted 13 April 1972) was inspired by it.
