Lippenhuizen village

Lippenhuizen (Frisian: Lippenhuzen) is a village in Opsterland, Fryslân province, with (1958) 1233; (1973): 1115; (2000): 1283 inhabitants. The village name is derived from the Luppinga-family; in the Middle Ages it was also called "Kobunderhuzen". It is a long village; the village center was already present in 1622. Formerly there was a courthouse here. In the village one can admire the collection of archeological finds by H. v.d. Vliet (mind your head!).
Lippenhuizen coat of arms: in red three golden erased trees, of which the central one is the largest; over all a green diagonal cross bar charged with a bee between two grains of buckwheat in the direction of the diagonal, all of gold.
Flag: seven equally wide horizontal stripes of red and yellow, with a square green canton charged with e yellow bee.
The coat of arms of Lippenhuizen was designed in 1989. Trees symbolize law administration; in Opsterland there were two village with a "rechthuis": Beetsterzwaag for the north, and Lippenhuizen for the south. The red color represents the heather, while the gold/yellow points at the sandy soil. Lippenhuizen is built on the southern sandy ridge of Opsterland.
The green diagonal bar symbolizes the peat-canals near the village.
Buckwheat was formerly grown on the poor heather grounds; the two grains symbolize that; the bee reminds of beekeeping on the heather.
In the flag the three yellow stripes remind of the three peat-canals near the village through the heather country. The flag is a
simplification of the arms.
