Idaarderadeel - Idaerderadiel is in the center of Friesland, due south of
Leeuwarden. Since 1984 it is part of Boarnsterhiem. The seat was in Grouw, the
village where in the last century the revival of Frisian literature was started.
The two crescents on the flag might refer to the quite popular opinion that
Frisians took part in the crusades (notably the conquest of
Damiette in Egypt).
Jarig Bakker, 24 October 1999
Idaarderadeel:
Flag: "White with a red scandinavian cross whereof the width of the arms is
3/16th of the flag height, and over that a white scandinavian cross with a width
of 1/16th of the flag height and on the crossing of the arms a blue
escutcheon ending in a point on which two contrary yellow crescents.
The shield is: Blue two contrary crescents gold.
Under Idaarderadeel it says the capital is Grouw. Here the flag is described as:
Flag: White charged with a red cross, so as to the vertical axis of the cross
being on 1/3rd of the length of the flag, measured from the hoist side; the red
lines both having the same width as the white space separating them, while the
whole (lines and white space) runs to 3/16th of the length of the flag. On the
intersection and the cross the arms of the municipality are placed, without
crown.
And here the shield is: Azure, charged with two half moons gold, placed pale
wise back to back above each other.
Under Municipal flag the flag shows the red lines to be 1/16th of the _height_
of the flag. The shield is depicted like a 13th century shield, triangular with
a straight chief and only very slightly arced sides. The moons are depicted as
crescents.
