Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1965.

The lower part shows part of the church in Reken, with the typical architecture. The holly branch is a symbol for the woods in the area and is also canting for the village of Hülsten (holly = Hüls in the local dialect, hulst in Dutch, Stechpalme in German).
