During colonial times the city of Buitenzorg used different arms. | During colonial times the city of Buitenzorg used different arms. In 1921 the local council announced a contest for new arms for the city. A number of proposals were received and discussed in the municipal council.<br> | ||
*The first proposal was by Mr. Bloijs van Treslong, who proposed a crowned shield with the Salak mountain. As supporters two heraldic seal lions. As a motto simply the name Buitenzorg. | |||
*The second proposal by the same person was a quartered shield showing in the frst a heraldic sea lion, in the second the Salak mountain, in the third a stone in Batutulis and in the fourth a lion. The sea lion is from the Van Imhoff arms, the Batutulis stone is a stone with an inscription that refers to the foundation of the Pakoe State. The lion in the fourth quarter is taken from the arms of Governor-gemeral Van Limburg Stirum. | |||
*The tird by Mr. Van der Schraaf with a design showing the sea lion, batutulis stone and a palm tree | |||
*The fourth by Mr. Fuchter, two royal crowns in chief, the sea lion in the center and another crown in base. | |||
The council discussed the proposals and decided on the fourth proposal, in which the lower crown was replaced by the Batutulis stone. | |||
However, on July 30, 1924 the local council adopted the arms as shown below, but with a mural crown, two lion supporters and a banner with the name of the town, basically a version of the second of the four proposals.. | |||
