It has its own "stadsdeel"-flag: yellow, in the center the former municipal arms of 4/5 flagheight, in which the main element (the giantess Hillegonda) is contoured yellow.
According to "Wie, Wat, Waar? 1940", an annual published by the
Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad in Nov. 1939, the flag of Hillegersberg was: horizontal
gold over blue.

This is the giantess Hildegonda; in her apron she carried sand. On the
site of Hillegersberg her apron tore, and sand out of it formed the mountain,
on which the present settlement of Hillegersberg was built around the Hillegonda
church. There was a castle here, Slot Hillegersberg, demolished by Jacoba
van Beieren in 1426, of which a few remains still exist.
