Belgische Gemeentewapens - Armories communales de Belgique Belgian Civic Heraldry GEETBETS Province : Vlaams Brabant Additions : 1976 Rummen (1970 Grazen) Origin/meaning : I have no information on the meaning or origin of the present arms. The previous arms were granted on December 16, 1932 and the complete arms show St. Paul as a supporter behind the shield. The arms show a wavy bend symbolising the Geete river, from which the name of the village is derived, flowing through the green fields. The two diamonds and the stirrup are derived from the arms of the Rijckman family, Lords of Geetbets since the middle of the 17th century. Literature : Servais, 1955
