Belgische Gemeentewapens - Armories communales de Belgique Belgian Civic Heraldry RUMST Province : Antwerpen Additions : 1976 Reet, Terhagen The arms were granted on July 3, 1925. The arms were granted on July 7, 1987. Origin/meaning : The old arms are the arms of Phillipe of Vianden, who, in the late 13th century inherited the Estate of Rumst. The silver bar is the original arms of Vianden (Luxembourg). Even though the village was not for a long time a possession of the Vianden family, the arms remained in use. The oldest known seal of Rumst dates from 1373 and shows the above arms, when the village was owned by the Counts of Vlaanderen. The new arms combine the old arms of both Rumst and Reet. Literature : Servais, 1955; Anonymous : Van evers en heiligen - wapens en vlaggen van de gemeenten in de provincie Antwerpen. Antwerpen, 1998.
