adopted 24 Jun 2002
In its meeting on 24 Jun 2002 the municipal council decided to adopt
the new Coat of Arms, and has asked HM the Queen to grant it. On 13 Sep 2002 the
new Coat of Arms was officially granted. The arms consist of the complete old Dalfsen
Coat of Arms on top (see the flag), and the lower half of the old Nieuwleusen arms
(two crossed scythes). It was decided too to retain the two old Coats of Arms as
village-arms without status.

Adopted 21 Jul 1961 - the flag is identical to the Coat of Arms
Stefan Lambrechts spotted on the website
of the municipality of Dalfsen in Overijssel province a flag for the "woonkern"
(settlement) of Hoonhorst: blue with along the hoist a white capital H
and in flagcenter white letters "oonhorst". I thought that it was possibly
a commercial flag and wrote to the municipality for confirmation. They
just wrote back, confirming that it was indeed the flag of the "woonkern"
Hoonhorst. Adoption date unknown.
Information from the municipal site:
The name "Hoonhorst" is first mentioned in 1369. In the book
of archives of Rechteren a yard "hohenhorst" has been documented.
Hoonhorst only originated in c. 1750 when the first church was built; before
that this area was known as Lenthe. Around the Roman-Catholic church
the present village of Hoonhorst was built, with later a bakery, a miller
and a village pub, along with some farms; most have disappeared.
Hoonhorst lies in a beautiful wavy landscape with old sandy roads,
remnants of old branches of the Vecht-river, "esch-akkers" (agricultural
fields on mounds) and diversified forests.
It has its own website with
as logo the slanting village flag, the H with black spaces. Apart from some
advertisements it contains old stories in "Saksisch", the local
vernacular, nearly incomprehenable to me.

I thought I detected two arches above the o, the n, and the h. Perhaps
even a third above the h and the o. Apart from that it appears to me as
if between the legs of the capital H the color is (blueish) green instead
of blue.

On the website
of the municipality of Dalfsen is now a better image of the Hoonhorst village
flag, which confirms my observations above.

I found a photo on this webpage with a clearer image: the curly things
over the name form one wavy line!
