APPELTERRE-EICHEM
Province : Oost-Vlaanderen
Incorporated into : 1977 Ninove
Official blazon
Gevierendeeld: 1 en 4 van sabel met een leeuw van goud, genageld en getongd van keel; 2 en 3 van azuur met een adelaar van goud - het schild rechts getoopt van een heilige Gertrudis met aureool, houdende in de rechterhand een lelie en in de linkerhand een staf, de stafkromming naar buiten, links getopt van een heilige Martinus met aureool, te paard, zijn mantel delend met een arme, alles van goud.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 4, 1955.
Appelterre and Eichem belonged to the Wedergraat Baronny, together with Denderwindeke, Neigem and Pollare. The local council used a seal in the 16th century with the arms of the De Goux family, Lords of the manor at the time. Surrounding the shield were images of the patron saints of all the 5 villages. In the arms granted to the municipality only St. Martin (Eichem) and St. Gertrudis (Appelterre) were granted.
