Druten former flag

by Jarig Bakker, 19 September 2004

Before the merger with Horssens the old municipality of Druten used a flag with three equally wide horizontal stripes of white - green - white, with on the green stripe four red five-pointed stars. The stars represented the four villages Afferden, Deest, Druten and Puiflijk. Flag adopted 27 Oct 1965.

Unofficial Historical flag

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

The old flag was divided horizontally white and green, with in the canton a horizontally three-striped flag BYN. It was not official and was also derived from the Coat of Arms (the green bar), while in the canton the colors were from the Gelderland provincial flag
