Where Sonnae and Kreugel Flow (Dutch: Waar Sonne en Kreugel Vloeien) is the national anthem of Lindenholt. It was adopted as the national anthem in 1919, when a revision to the constitution opened the way for adopting it. The text was written somewhere in the 19th century by Lindian nationalists as a poem. It consists out of 3 stanzas of which only the first is sung in an international setting. Otherwise all three stanzas are sung. Each stanza has a certain theme that is associated with Lindenholt, the first being about Lindenholt's landscapes, the second about its history and the last about the "young masses" pledging to defend their country, referenced as the fatherland.
Although there are no punishments for not following the conventions for the national anthem, they are recorded in the Lindian civil code as follows:
- All seated Lindians shall stand, if they are able to, upon hearing the first tunes of the anthem.
- All civilians should remove any non-religious headgear upon hearing the first tunes of the anthem.
- All (former) members of the military that are not in formation should salute the nearest Lindian flag with a military salute
or salute straight ahead if there is no visible flag present. If the flag is directly behind them then they should also salute straight ahead. - All Lindians, except for members of the military that are in formation, should sing the lyrics of the anthem as good and as complete as they can.
- If the ceremony is international in nature then only the first stanza will be played and sung. Otherwise all three will be played and sung.
