MEEUWEN-GRUITRODE
Province : Limburg
Additions : 1977 Gruitrode (1970 Neerglabbeek), Meeuwen (1970 Ellikom, Wijshagen)
Official blazon
Gedwarsbalkt van tien stukken van goud en van keel, met een smalle schuinbalk van lazuur over alles heen, vergezeld boven van de hoofdletter M en beneden van de hoofdletter G, beide van zilver.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 20, 1989
The arms are based on the arms of Gruitrode, with the addition of a blue bend and the letter M. Both Gruitrode and Meeuwen historically belonged to the Loon County. Gruitrode used as arms a silver letter G on the Loon arms. Meeuwen did not have its own arms, but historically used a seal with the Loon arms and a blue bend. This seal is known from the 15th century.
These two designs were thus combined and for symmetry a letter M was added in chief.
