Austerlitz village

[Austerlitz village flag] by Jarig Bakker, 28 Aug 2003

Austerlitz is a village in de municipality of Zeist, Utrecht province. It originated in a military camp of the French, which was there during and after the battle at Austerlitz (now Slavkov u Brna, Czech Republic), where Napoleon defeated the Austrians and Russians in 1805. In the winter of 1805/'06 the French commander had the Pyramid of Austerlitz erected just outside the village (and beyond the village boundary).
On Sunday morning, 2 Dec 1972, 9.00 the Mayor of Zeist, assisted by local prominent people, hoisted the village flag of Austerlitz, after the national and municipal flag had been raised. The flag was designed by the Stichting Heraldiek en Banistiek in consultation with the Austerlitz citizens. The flag contains the most striking village-feature: the pump! (The 'pyramid" is outside the village boundary).
Description: three horizontal stripe of green and white; in the hoist a turned white hoist-triangle and a white triangle; the center of the white stripe has a geen disk of 1/10 flagheight; on the base of the hoist-triangle narrow green stripes have been added in such a way that the letter "A" can be discerned.
Viewed from the fly the silhouette of the village pump is clearly visible!
<and I may add: the pyramid has been smuggled in too!>
