DILSEN

Province: Limburg
Additions: 1977 Elen, Lanklaar, Roten, Stokkem

Wapen van Dilsen/Coat of arms (crest) of Dilsen

Official blazon

In keel een perron met drie treden, getopt met een pijnappel waarop een kruis van goud, de kolom beladen met een schild, gedwarsbalkt van tien stukken van goud en van keel, het geheel ondersteund door een uitkomende gaffelvormige lindeboom, eveneens van goud.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 17, 1987.

The main symbol on the arms is a so-called perron, which was used in the town square as a symbol of a city. Stokkem was the only city in the municipality and has a perron on its main square. The perron is also the symbol of the Diocese of Liège, to which the area belonged for many centuries. The small shield shows the arms of the Loon county, to which the area historically belonged.
