Official blazon

Van zilver met twee toegewende leeuwen van sable. Het schild geplaatst voor een Heilige Andries, rechstaand, met nimbus, houdende een kruis in de rechterhand en een boek in de linkerhand, alles van goud.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on October 31, 1961.

The arms are derived from the arms of Halen as Loksbergen historically was a small village under the city of Halen. It became independent from Halen in 1866. To differentiate the arms with those from Halen, the local patron saint, St. Andrew, was added as a supporter.

Literature : Servais, 1969
