Flag: White with a blue diagonal from hoist-bottom to fly-top, of 1/3 flagheight;
in hoist-top a green clover.
Lioessens (Frisian: Ljussens - say Ljussus) had (1-1-1999) 382
inhabitants. It is 8 km NE of Dokkum. The blue diagonal flagbar symbolizes
the former railway, and now road from Dokkum to Anjum and Lauwersoog, and
of course the old Oostdongeradeel municipal Coat of Arms. The cloverleaf is from
the old Gerroltsma family Coat of Arms. It is an agricultural village, and there
used to be a dairy factory here, which might explain the use of the white
color.
