LOOS-EN-GOHELLE
Département : Pas-de-Calais
French | blazon wanted |
English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted in the early 1980s.
The first attempt by the local council to adopt arms was in 1979. The council initiated a contest and received many different suggestions. None of these were applicable as arms. Two symbols, however, appeared consistently in the designs, miner's tools and a phoenix.
The above arms were a few years later finally adopted by the municipality. The first quarter shows a lion, whose origin I do not know. The second quarter shows a phoenix, symbol of a town rebuilt after complete destruction in the first world war. The third shows miner's tools and a lamp, symbols for the importance of coal mining in the municipality. The fourth quarter shows three garbs of wheat, symbol of the importance of agriculture prior to the detection of coal. The arms may be surrounded by the French cross of war, granted to the village in 1920.
