The arms are based on the oldest seals of Wemmel. The oldest seal dates from 1388, and, as all later seals, show a cross with a small crow in the upper right corner. The blackbird later developed into a merle (above left). The arms itself are derived from the arms of the Van Kraainem family, Lords of Wemmel in the 14<sup>th</sup> century. The crow (Kraai) was a canting symbol. Since 1988 the municipality again uses a crow instead of the merle. | The arms are based on the oldest seals of Wemmel.
