Origin/meaning

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