The arms show the lion of the Counts (later Dukes) of [[Limburg (provincie)|Limburg]], who granted the city rights in the 2nd half of the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The first seal from around 1280 already shows the lion, as do all later seals of the city. In 1919 and 1973 the arms were confirmed, but without the crown of the arms of Limburg. | The arms show the lion of the Counts (later Dukes) of [[Limburg (provincie)|Limburg]], who granted the city rights in the 2nd half of the 13<sup>th</sup> century.
