LONTZEN

Province : Liège
Additions : 1977 Walhorn

Official blazon

In gespaltenem Schild, vorne in Blau die auf einer Mondsichel stehende gekrönte Jungfrau Maria im Glorienschein, auf dem rechten Arm das nimbierte Jesuskind haltend, alles golden, hinten in Silber ein golden bewehreter und golden bezungter roter Löwe mit gespaltener Schwanz. Schildhalter links: der nimbierte hl. Stefan mit Dalmatica, auf dem linken Arm Steine haltend, alles golden.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 28, 1987.

The arms combine the lion of the former arms of Waldhorn with the Madonna and Child from the seal of Lontzen. The seal indicates that Lontzen historically belonged to the Marienstift Abbey in Aachen.

The supporter, Saint Stephen, was already part of the arms of Waldhorn.
