Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on May 12, 1906 and again on May 9, 1989.

The arms are based on the oldest seal of the town, dating from 1499. The lion is the lion of the Dukes of Brabant, as the estate was part of the Duchy of Brabant. The small shield on the neck of the lion shows the arms of the Lords of Huldenberg from the late 13^th century (mentioned in the Armorial Gelre).

The arms in the Koffie Hag/Café Hag albums +/- 1930

Literature: Servais, 1955
