OPDORP
Province : Oost-Vlaanderen
Incorporated into : 1964 Buggenhout
Official blazon
- (1818) Van lazuur, beladen van boven van een weegschaal, en van onderen ter regterzijde van een passer en ter linker van een anker, alles van goud.
- (1844) Een blaeuw veld, met eene guldenwaeg vergezeld onder aen, ter regter zijde, van eenen passer en ter linker zijde, van een scheepsanker ook van goud.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on April 29, 1818 and again on May 17, 1844.
The meaning or origin of these arms is no longer known. Probably the items indicate justice (scales) and industry (compass and anchor).
The colours are the Dutch national colours, as in 1813 the mayor applied without indicating the colours. The arms were thus granted in the national colours. When the arms were confirmed after the Belgian independence, the colours were not changed.
