Revision as of 11:18, 11 August 2024 by Knorrepoes (talk | contribs) (Text replacement - " :" to ":")
ELSENE - IXELLES
Province: Stadsgewest Brussel / Région Bruxelles
Dutch | In zilver een els van natuurlijke kleur |
French | D'argent à un aune au naturel |
English | Argent, an alder tree proper |
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on February 17, 1888.
The arms show a canting alder tree (Els in Dutch). Elsene became a separate council only in 1813, thus no historical arms or seals existed, hence the choice for a canting element.
