Other info:
On 28 Jan 1970 the polderboard of De Bovenvecht adopted its own flag, adviced and designed by the Stichting Banistiek and heraldiek. The colors of the arms of white, black and red have been used as if for a war-flag (reminding of the Battle of Ane in 1227, where de Bishop of Utrecht and his harnasses knights drowned in the marshes while intending to invade Drenthe), representing the Vecht river in the marshy area, with on both sides the watercontainment girdles in the form of white and black triangles.
