Arms (crest) of Glamsbjerg

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially registered in 1971.

The four fields represent the four municipalities that merged in 1970. The book is a symbol for the educational centres in the municipality. The fleur-de-lys is taken form the arms of the Skinkel family, who owned most of the territory in the 17th century.
