Municipal flag
Zelhem is in souteast Gelderland. C. 800 the missionary Ludger founded a chapel here. The name was first used in 1152 as 'Selenum' (place
of peace - a very appropriate name IMO)
The flag of Zelhem contains a plough, which has been taken from the CoA. It symbolizes the agricultural character of the municipality.
