Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on February 24, 1818, confirmed in 1844 and redesigned and granted on March 20, 1947.
The arms from 1818 showed a bend with the local church tower, and a garb and plough as symbols of agriculture. These arms were confirmed in 1844 and used until 1947.
The new arms are based on the oldest known seal of the village, dating from 1769, which shows the shield with a child or angel as supporter. The shield itself is derived from the arms of the Lords van Brakel, known since the 15th century.
