== Local anthem == In 2002 the municipal government officially adopted a local anthem ([[Limburgish]] ([[Maastrichtian dialect|Maastrichtian variant]]): ''Mestreechs Volksleed'', {{langx|nl|Maastrichts Volkslied}}) composed of lyrics in [[Maastrichtian dialect|Maastrichtian]], written by [[Alfons Olterdissen]]. The theme was originally composed by his brother, Guus Olterdissen, though the theme is similar to the theme "[[Pe-al nostru steag e scris Unire|Pe al nostru steag e scris Unire]]" of the Romanian composer [[Ciprian Porumbescu]] (1853–1883). It is unknown if the Olterdissen brothers were aware of the Romanian piece.<ref name="Municipality of Maastricht">{{cite web |title=Municipality of Maastricht: Maastrichts Volkslied|year=2008 |publisher=N.A.
