Anloo former municipality

Flag of the former municipality of Anloo in Drenthe. It is since 1 Jan1998 part of the municipality of Aa en Hunze.
The flag (adopted ?) has been derived from the municipal CoA. The key refers to the 'spicarium' (warehouse) in Anloo, where tax 'in natura' was stored for the bishop of Utrecht. It was managed by the 'plebaan' of Anloo, who was deacon of Drenthe too. The cross accentuates the Christian/episcopal character of the municipality. Anloo was in olden days one of the three places where sessions of the 'Etstoel' (a judicial college, comparable to the Scandinavian 'thing') of Drenthe took place. 9 of the 54 'hunebeds' are found here.
