Blauwvingers (Blue fingers)
Like in many places, Zwolle also has a name for its inhabitants, which has evolved over the centuries into a geuzen name. A folk tale must explain the name 'blue fingers'.

The legend about the blues fingers tells that Zwolle, at the time of a ceasefire, offered the chimes from the burned tower for sale to Kampen. The people of Kampen would agree with this, provided they were allowed to determine how the amount was paid. One day a wagon full of money arrived: all four-legged pieces and the people from Zwolle got blue fingers from counting the copper coins. Blauwvingers therefore became the nickname for the people of Zwolle.
