Other Heerenveen pages: See also:Since 24 Oct 1935 the municipality of Heerenveen has its own CoA. Description:
in the blue left part a broken wheel of silver and a silver sword, representing
maintenance of law. In the silver right part is a green planted tree with
on both sides a black block, symbolizing the presence of forests and peat-digging.

Aengwirden was the second "grietenij" (municipality) of the old Zevenwouden
division, northeast of Heerenveen; four villages: Gersloot, Tjalleberd,
Luinjeberd and Terband.
CoA: in silver three green trees on a green base and between the trees
and the shieldborder four black peatblocks.
This former municipality never had a flag. The four villages all hace
a CoA; a flag has been designed; should it be adopted it will be representing
all villages.
In 1934 this municipality became part of Schoterland; the merger received
the new name of Heerenveen.
Jubbega is a long village in Heerenveen municipality, Fryslân,
and its flag can be bought at this
webpage. It appears that there was some fuss about it, but I'm no subscriber
to the Heerenveenster Courier, so I'm unable to tell the gruelling story.
The letters JSH stand for Jubbega - Schurega - Hoornsterzwaag; Jubbega-Schurega
is the official name of the village, and Hoornsterzwaag is a few kilometers
away (I suppose they form in practice one village). To Jubbega belongs
Jubbegaastercompagnie, and to Hoornsterzwaag Hoornsterzwaagcompagnie, as
well as Jubbega Derde Sluis - names
reminding of the old peat-digging days.
The flag was designed in 1997.
