Drimmelen is a merger of the former municipalities of Hooge
en Lage Zwaluwe (most parts Helkant, Hooge Zwaluwe and Lage Zwaluwe
- only the village of Moerdijk went to the new Moerdijk
municipality), Made en Drimmelen and Terheijden
on 1 Jan 1997. The new municipality was first going to be called Made.
Note: no Coat of Arms has been asked for.
The municipality of Drimmelen has published its housestyle on its
website, including a nice image of its flag.
One can even admire the RGB-colors.
This prompted me to adapt the image.
