Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 24, 1818.

The meaning of these arms is not known.

The colours are the Dutch national colours, as in 1813 the mayor applied without indicating the colours. The arms were thus granted in the national colours. When the arms were confirmed after the Belgian independence, the colours were not changed.

Literature: Servais, 1955
