Biggekerke former municipality

by Jarig Bakker, 30 Oct 2003

Biggekerke was an independent municipality 1811-1966 with a population of 850 in the settlements Biggekerke (seat), Krommenhoeke and Valkenisse.
Flag: blue, with three white fishes and three yellow six-pointed stars, placed 2,1 and 1,2.
This flag was not official but was used as such. The image is identical to the Coat of Arms, which is black with those fish-stars; it is not known why the black color of the Coat of Arms was changed in blue for the flag.

by Jarig Bakker, 30 Oct 2003

Koudekerke is a former municipality (1811-1966) in Zeeland province, now part of Veere municipality. It had 2300 inhabitants in the settlements Koudekerke (seat), Dishoek, Lammerenbrug and Westhoek. In 1966 it merged, together with Biggekerke and Zoutelande to form the municipality of Valkenisee. Koudekerke is a small bathing resort (4 km beach).
Flag: blue, with over the center of flagheight a wavy stripe of white, red, and white, all in proportions 3:1:1:1:3, with in the center the municipal arms.
This flag was not official, but was used for festive occasions. The colors are inspired by the Dutch and Zeeuwse flag.
It is said that the Coat of Arms is canting: the church and the tree in cold conditions.
I've used the Coat of Arms at Ralf Hartemink's site.
