The above arms were a few years later finally adopted by the municipality. The first quarter shows a lion, whose origin I do not know. The second quarter shows a phoenix, symbol of a town rebuilt after complete destruction in the first world war. The third shows miner's tools and a lamp, symbols for the importance of coal mining in the municipality. The fourth quarter shows three garbs of wheat, symbol of the importance of agriculture prior to the detection of coal. The arms may be surrounded by the French cross of war, granted to the village in 1920. | The above arms were a few years later finally adopted by the municipality.
