Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 29, 1962.

The upper half depicts the coat of arms of the Lords of Merode-Vlatten from 1320. The bishop's crosier refers to the parish patron, St. Dionysius, the sword to the second parish patron, St. Michael, to whom the chapel in Obervlatten is dedicated.
