Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on May 9, 1989.

The arms combine elements for the history of the former municipalities.

The crosier stands for Opgrimbie and Vucht. Both belonged to either the diocese of Liège, or the diocesan chapter of Liège. The crosier thus represents the Prince-Bishops of Liège.

Mechelen-aan-de-Maas belonged from 1232-1799 to the chapter ofthe Sint-Servaas church in Maastricht. The star is the arms of Maastricht.

Eisden, Leut, Boorsem and Uikhoven all were free imperial estates, they are thus represneted by the Imperial eagle.
