The official municipal flag of Ede consists of two equally wide vertical stripes yellow and blue. In the center of the flag, half on the yellow, half on the blue stripe, is a stylized liberty hat, and below it the back of a book, the Bible. The dimensions of hat and Bible are together 1/4 of flagheight and 2/5 of flaglength.
The flag was adopted by the municipal council on 6 Sep 1967. It was inspired by the CoA, which dates from the time of the French Revolution.
In accordance with the advice of the High Council of Nobility and of the Foundation for Banistiek and Heraldry, elements from the municipal arms, namely the liberty hat and the back of the Bible, have been included. The liberty hat can also be found on coins from the time of the Eighty Years war (1568-1648).
