Flag: Two equally long vertical stripes of green and red, with in the
center of green a yellow six-pointed star, and on the center of red a yellow
pig's head.
This flag was adopted 27 Dec 1962 by municipal resolution. The colors
are derived from the municipal arms. The star is the symbol of the Virgin
Mary; the pig's head represents the three pig's heads on the Coat of Arms.
adopted 8 Dec 1951 - a "rijs" is a twig, so the flag is canting.
