Eijsden municipality

Number of inhabitants (1 Jan 2003): 12.007; area: 21,90 km². Settlements: Eijsden (seat), Gronsveld, Mariadorp, Mesch, Oost-Maarland, Rijckholt, Withuis.
Eijsden is in south Limburg, between Maastricht and Belgium (not to be confused with Eisden in Belgian Limburg). It is virtually part of Maastricht; Eijsden, Oost and Breust formed a lordship, belonging to the County of Valkenburg, which became part of the Northern Netherlands in 1644.
The flag has the Burgundy cross from the time when the Country of Valkenburg (Land van Valkenburg) belonged to Burgundy. The cross nearly obliterates some red balls, which have come from the Coat of Arms of Gronsveld, which became part of Eijsden in 1943. (see: <http://www.bng.nl/ngw/e/eysden.htm>).
