Ermelo old unofficial flag

by Jarig Bakker, 8 Jun 2003

The old flag is described by Sierksma (Nederlands Vlaggenboek, 1962): Two horizontal bars YB, with on the hoist a vertical white bar (Madagascar-style) with the (old) municipal Coat of Arms, topped by a crown with five leaves and five pearls.
That flag was unofficial, but in general use. Coat of Arms from the Koffie Hag Album.

Shipmate Flagchart : http://www.flagchart.net

At the Shipmate site is another old flag, captioned 1938, thus probably used by Ermeloërs for the celebrations of Queen Wilhelmina's 40 years reigning jubilee, just bicolor yellow over blue.

Hamlet of Leuvenum

image located by Valentin Poposki, 21 November 2025

The flag consists of a dark green field with three yellow vertical stripes. Characteristic of the estate are the farms with the Leuvenum colors on the shutters: dark green with yellow stripes, the old enkwal that surrounded the former hamlet, the moated woodland of the now-defunct Huis te Leuvenum (behind the inn " De Zwarte Boer "), the current Huis te Leuvenum, and the alternation of arable land and old hedgerows on the enkwal.
