Wapen van Elsegem/Coat of arms (crest) of Elsegem

Official blazon

  • (1818) Van lazuur, beladen ter regterzijde met een weefgetouw en ter linker met een spinnewiel vastgehouden door twee staande leeuwen, houdende in derzelver poot een bloemstruik, onder de bovengemelde werktuigen een liggende leeuw, alles van goud.
  • (1930) Van goud met eenen leeuw van keel genageld en getongd van lazuur, het schild getopt met een kroon met dertien paarlen waarvan drie opgezet.

Origin/meaning

The first arms were officially granted on August 4, 1818, new arms on May 5, 1930.

The old arms show a spinning whleen and loom held by two lions. The meaning is not known, but probably refers to the importance of (home) spinning in the village at the early 19th century.

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. After the Belgian independence the colours were not changed.

The arms of 1930 are based on the oldest seal of the council from 1694 and show the arms of the Counts of Berghes-Saint-Winnoc, Lords of Elsegem at the time.
