The arms were first granted on December 21, 1864, by King Wilhelm of Preussen with the Prussian eagle above the crown (see below). The present arms were granted on March 10, 1983. Even though the arms were not officially abolished, the eagle was removed in 1920 when the area became part of Belgium. | The arms were first granted on December 21, 1864, by King Wilhelm of Preussen with the Prussian eagle above the crown (see below).
