Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
The shield is divided per fess. Above in a red field are two silver (=white) saltirishly crossed scythes, used for rooting out. Above the scythes is a silver(=white) heraldic rose barbed green and seeded golden (=yellow). Below in a silver (=white) field is a red, statant, double queued lion, armed and tongued blue.
Meaning:
According to Ralf Hartemink the upper half shows a combination of the seals of both churches. The scythes are taken from the Catholics, the rose, being that one of the counts of Möllembiek, from the Protestants. The lion is symbolizing the counts and dukes of Berg, the former rulers.
