ZARLARDINGE
Province : Oost-Vlaanderen
Incorporated into : 1977 Geraardsbergen
Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on August 4, 1818 and again on August 2, 1843.
The origin or meaning of these arms, which were proposed by the local council, are not known. The only possible explanation could be that the lion is derived from the arms of Wauthier van Braine, Lords of Zarlardinge in 1289, who used a lion on his seal.
 The arms in the Koffie Hag/Café Hag albums +/- 1930 |
Literature : Servais, 1955
