Object history
Deutsch: Das Wappen wurde der Gemeinde am 29. April 1996 durch Erlass der Exekutive der Deutschsprachigen Gemeinschaft verliehen. Das Schildhaupt erinnert an die frühere größte Smithsonitmine Europas und zeigt das Emblem der Firma. Löwe und Adler erinnern an das ehemalige Kondominium Moresnet, dass von zunächst von den den Niederlanden und Preußen und ab 1830 von Belgien und Preußen gemeinsam regiert wurde.
English: The arms were officially granted on April 29, 1996. The chief remembers on the most important former Smithsonite mining in the area. In the 19th century a large mining company was formed, which used the miner's tools and three stars as its emblem. The main part shows a lion and an eagle and refers to the special status of the Moresnet region, now part of the municipality. Moresnet was an independent state, governed as a Condominium between the Netherlands and Prussia, and later de facto between Belgium and Prussia (Belgium took over in 1830, but the Netherlands never officially ceded the sovereignity). It existed from 1816-1920. The lion represents both the Dutch and the Belgian lion, the eagle is the Prussian eagle.
