Kluisbergen was formed after a merger of four municipalities. The arms combine the previous arms of Berchem and Ruien, see there. Kwarebeke did not have arms, the arms of Zulzeke were not historically correct and could thus not be used. As Ruien, Kwarebeke and Zulzeke formed the same estate before 1799, the arms of Ruien could represent the three villages. | Kluisbergen was formed after a merger of four municipalities.

Kluisbergen was formed after a merger of four municipalities. The arms combine the previous arms of Berchem and Ruien, see there. Kwarebeke did not have arms, the arms of Zulzeke were not historically correct and could thus not be used. As Ruien, Kwarebeke and Zulzeke formed the same estate before 1799, the arms of Ruien could represent the three villages.
Initially the new municipality chose to use the Zulzeke arms, being the oldest arms in use in the municipality, but they never applied for an official grant (se eimage below). When they finally applied, the Flemish Heraldic Council porposed the current arms, which were accepted by the municipality.
 Letterhead from 1977, with the Zulzeke arms for Kluisbergen. |
