The flag was adopted on August 24, 2010. Its description according to the municipal government is: "Quartered by a white cross at a third of the flag's length, in yellow and green, the flag has a green medlar at the top of the hoist side, a yellow bear claw at the bottom, and a yellow lime leaf at the top of the fly.� The symbols appear to be taken from the coats of arms of the former municipalities which make up Hof van Twente, including: medlar fromGoor, bear claw fromDiepenheim, and linden leaf fromDelden.
