Groningen municipality

Number of inhabitants (1 Jan 2003): 177.298; area: 82,52 km². Settlements: Groningen (seat), Dorkwerd (part), Engelbert, Hoogkerk, Leegkerk, Middelbert, Noorddijk, Noorderhoogebrug, Oosterhogebrug, Roodehaan, Ruischerbrug, Vierverlaten
Since 1625 a triband white-green-white has been in use, but has never been adopted officially. This flag is based on the old arms, which later became an escutcheon on a gold shield with a black eagle (first single-, later double-headed). (See quarter I and IV of the provincial flag based on the arms). Groningen was a member of the Hanseatic league since 1284.
