Everything about Ommelanden totally explained
The
Ommelanden (
Dutch for "surrounding lands") are the parts of
Groningen province that surround
Groningen city. Usually mentioned as synonym for the province in the expression
Stad en Ommeland ("city and surrounding lands").
The area was
Frisian-speaking, but under the influence of the
Saxon city of Groningen most of the area turned to speaking
Low Saxon. A reminder of the Frisian past is the Ommelanden flag which looks a lot like the
Frisian provincial flag but has more and narrower stripes and more red
pompeblêden (stylised heart-shaped leaves of
yellow water-lily).
The area is made up of the following four quarters:
Westerkwartier,
Hunsingo,
Fivelingo with Oldambt, and
Westerwolde.
