The combination of fish and keys already appeared on the seal of the city dating from the 15<sup>th</sup> century. The keys are most likely a symbol for the Rode Abbey, which owned the area since the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The meaning of the fish is not known. In the early 20<sup>th</sup> century the arms were identical to the composition of the seal (see below), later the arms wer modernized (above). | The combination of fish and keys already appeared on the seal of the city dating from the 15<sup>th</sup> century.
