Flag of the former municipality of Anloo in Drenthe (Netherlands). It
is since 1-1-1998 part of the municipality of Aa en Hunze.
The flag (adopted ?) has been derived from the municipal CoA. The key
refers to the 'spicarium' (warehouse) in Anloo, where tax 'in natura' was
stored for the bishop of Utrecht. It was managed by the 'plebaan' of Anloo,
who was deacon of Drenthe too. The cross accentuates the Christian/episcopal
character of the municipality. Anloo was in olden days one of the three
places where sessions of the 'Etstoel' (a judicial college, comparable
to the Scandinavian 'thing') of Drenthe took place. 9 of the 54 'hunebeds'
are found here.

The flag of the former municipality of Gasselte in Drenthe, Netherlands.
Since 1 Jan 1998 part of the municipality of Aa en Hunze.
The ship reminds of the shipping on the Hunze river, especially since
the 17th century; in 1913 35 expensive seaships had their homeport in Gasselternijeveen,
but nowadays the Hunze can't be passed by ships over 120 tonnes BRT. Flag
adopted ?

The village of Eext is just outside the mighty metropole of Gieten,
in the municipality of Aa en Hunze, Drenthe province, the Netherlands,
and they expect to become rich by selling their "Ossevlag" - Oxen-flag,
as can be seen on <http://www.eextinfo.nl/Vlag/main.htm>.
Description: five horizontal stripes RVRVR, with a red vertical stripe
at the hoist, length = glaglentgh. Over all seven watching yellow ox-heads,
3 on the red hoist stripe, and the others on the red horizontal stripes,
placed 2-1-2 (or something like that...)
Adopted 29 Jul 1999.

Rolde is since 1 Jan 1999 part of the municipality of Aa en Hunze.
This flag was adopted 9 February 1962 by the municipal council of Rolde.
The colors were derived from the municipal CoA. Sword and cross symbolize
Justice; Rolde had an important place in the old institution of 'Etstoel'
(Scandinavian: 'Thing). Alternative (older) name for municipality
in Drenthe was 'dingspel'. The position of the sword seems strange:
normally the point of the sword is directed towards the hoist
