Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on December 9, 1988.

The arms are those of the Brabant-Limburg, which were already used by 's-Gravenvoeren, but with the correct sequence and with the double-tailed lion of Limburg.

Most of the current municipality was historically part of the Duchies of Brabant and Limburg.
