Sensen, 22 August 1999 The flag of Delft was adopted by the
Municipal Council on 30 May 1996. It consists of three equal
horizontal stripes white, black and white, which is like the
arms rotated 90 degrees. The flag is already depicted on
painting from the 17th century, but was used (also by the
municipality itself) only unofficially. The reason for the
official adoption was the fact that it had received its
municipal rights 750 years ago in 1996 (1246). The request was
made by the NVvV (Dutch Vexillological Association). (Sources:
