The arms were granted in 1819 and again on May 25, 1838.The arms are used since 1819 and show the arms of the family Berthout-Berlaar. The family already ruled the village in the 13<sup>th</sup> century and the oldest seal of the local council dates from 1325. It already shows the Berthout arms (in gold three red pales). On a seal from 1455 the shield appeared to be held by a bear as a supporter behind the shield. Later seals, however, from 1655 and 1659 only show the shield itself. The two bears appear on a seal from 1698 (which may be based on an older seal from 1612), and are most likely a canting symbol for the name Berlaar. | The arms were granted in 1819 and again on May 25, 1838.The arms are used since 1819 and show the arms of the family Berthout-Berlaar.
