Gulpen en Wittem merged on 1 Jan 1999 and so far have not got a flag.
Gulpen-Wittem is in the extreme south of Limburg, halfway between Maastricht
and Aachen. It has borders with Belgium and Germany. It is in hilly country
and there are several old castles.

The old Wittem flag was adopted 11 Oct 1988, and has the cross of the
old municipal Coat of Arms, which is the Coat of Arms of the family van Cosselaer, owner
from 1345-1466 of this imperial county (rijksgraafschap).
