adopted 30 Jun 1966
Harderwijk has since 30 June 1966 an officila municipal flag, used at
sports events and festivities. It consists of 6 equal horizontal stripes
of Hansa-yellow and Nassau-blue. The central stripes are divided by 6 embattlements.
In the past there were ties with the Hansa
and the House of Nassau. The embattlements symbolize the position of Harderwijk
as a fortress. Six stripes have been chosen for each faculty at the former
university of Harderwijk (1647-1811) - the faculties were: theology, oriental
languages, law, philosophy, medicine, and history. Famous students: Boerhave
and Linnaeus.

On 25 February 2008, "de
Stentor" shows a photography taken in "Kamp Holland", Uruzgan, Afghanistan,
with two soldiers displaying a big flag of Harderwijk.
The design of the flag globally matches the design shown above but
the embattlement in the middle of the flag is different:
- FOTW: embattlement starting with a blue half-square and ending with
a blue square; 5.5 blue squares and 4 yellow squares;
- Uruzgan: embattlement starting with a yellow square and ending with
a yellow half-square; 5 blue squares and 5.5 yellow squares
To transform the FOTW design into the Uruzgan design, mirror the flag
and counter-colour the embattlement.
