The municipality of Rijnwaarden was formed 1 Jan 1985 by the merger

On the Rijnwaarden municipal webpage
are Coat of Arms and Flag of Rijnwaarden (Gelderland), where the river Rhine enters
the Netherlands. Text:
By royal resolution of 12 October 1988, #20, the municipality of Rijnwaarden
was granted a Coat of Arms, which combines many features of the former municipalities.
Heraldic description: "Per pale; I in or an embattled tower in gules
opened and illiminated in the field, and before the door-opening a barrier
in argent; II per fess; in argent 3 tiles* in gules; b barry of 10 pieces
of argent and azure, and covering all a lion in gules. The shield covered
by a crown in or of 3 leaves and 2 pearls."
By municipal resolution of 25 October 1990, #429, the flag of Rijnwaarden
was adopted, after it had been granted by the 'Hoge Raad van de Adel' by
a letter dd. 28 August 1990.
Description of the flag: Three stripes YRW, over which a blue hoist
triangle. Height and length relationship: 2:3. This flag was designed by
the artist Tonny Ross, who lived and worked in Lobith. The flag is mainly
based on the flag of the former commune Herwen en Aerdt. The abolished
commune Pannerden had no flag. The blue triangle symbolises the location
of the commune Rijnwaarden at the Bovenrijn.
* Tiles refer to the many tile works in the region; the barrier is
of course for the frontier which used to be there between the Netherlands
and Germany.
