Wouterswoude village (Wâlterswâld)
Wouterswoude.(Wâlterswâld) village, in Dantumadeel. On its
website it says:
Flag: Three equally high lenghtwise stripes green, yellow, and black,
near the hoist charged with respectively a turned white crescent, a blue
chicory flower, and a golden acorn. These are placed in the vorm of a hoist
triangle with the heart of the flower lying on the tip of the (imaginary)
hoist triangle. Each of these figures in the proper ratio to the stripes
they're placed on.
And: Explanation : The coat of Arms is based on the local structure
of layers of earth. Green the clay, geel the sand layer, and black the
peat. The silver crescent symbolizes the area the village is lying in,
the "Dokkumer Wâlden" (Dokkum Forests). The two chicory flowers
remind of the chicory factories and the two village centers. The acorn
symbolyzes the wooded surroundings of the village.
The design was created by The Fryske Rie foar Heraldyk (Frisian Council
for Heraldry) in cooperation with the local society for village interests
(Doarpsbilangen)
