Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on February 10, 1849.

The arms are derived from the arms of the Lords of Lichtervelde, who in the 14th century acquired the Estates of Esen and Zarren. The arms are first mentioned as arms for the village on a map of the Vrije van Brugge area in 1561.

Literature: Servais, 1955
