DIEGEM
Province : Vlaams-Brabant
Incorporated into : 1976 Machelen
Official blazon
Zwart met een gouden leeuw, het schild gehouden door een vleeschkleurigen Heiligen Kornelis, gemijterd en getabberd in goud, houdende in de rechterhand eenen staf met een kruis in top en in de linker eenen hoorn, het alles ook van goud.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 26, 1902.
The arms are based on the oldest seal of Diegem, which was made in 1507 on request of the local council. Previously the councillors used their own personal seals. The arms are identical to the arms of the Dukes of Brabent. Diegem historically was a possession of the Dukes of Brabant, but the estate has been ruled by different families as vassals.
The supporter is Saint Cornelius, the local patron saint.
 The arms in the Koffie Hag/Café Hag albums +/- 1930 |
