Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 28, 1972.

The arms are based on the old seal of Kranenburg, known since the 13th century. The arms are canting, Kranenburg meaning castle of the cranes. None of the 4 added municipalities in 1969 had their own arms, so the arms were not changed after the merger.
