Province : Vlaams-Brabant
Additions : 1977 Wolvertem
Official blazon
- (1966) Van goud met azuren dwarsbalk en een schuinkruisje van keel over alles heen; het schild geplaatst voor een Heilige Martinus te paard, zijn mantel delend met een arme, alles van goud.
- (1985) In goud een dwarsbalk van lazuur, met twee gekruiste schuinstaken van keel over alles heen, in het schildhoofd vergezeld van een rovende wolf van sabel met in de muil een lam van zilver.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 1, 1985.
The arms are a combination of the old arms of Meise and the canting wolf taken from the seal of Wolvertem (Wolvertem did not have its own arms).
The old arms of Meise were granted on March 15, 1966.
The history of the municipality is very complicated, with many families owning small plots. In the 12th century the largest part of the village was owned by the Lords of Grimbergen. Even though in later centuries only parts belonged to Grimbergen, the seal of the village council showed the Grimbergen arms from 1423-1775. The arms are based on the seal and also show the Grimbergen arms. The supporter in the old arms is St. Martin, the local patron saint.
