| Object history |
Deutsch: Das Wappen entstammt einem Siegel des Jean von Eupen. Es wurde erstmalig am 21. Dezember 1864 durch den preußischen König Wilhelm I. mit einem wachsenen rotbewehrten schwarzen Adler über der Mauerkrone verliehen. Der Adler wurde entfernt, als 1920 Eupen Teil Belgiens wurde. English: The first arms of Eupen were granted by (Prussian) Royal Decree (William I) on 21 December 1864. They were identical to the present arms, with the addition of an eagle sable armed and crowned and langued gules issuant from the central tower of the mural crown. In 1920, General Baltia, Governor of the Eastern Cantons (reincorporated to Belgium) issued a Decree banning the Prussian eagle from the local municipal heraldry, and the eagle was removed. The arms were probably designed after the arms of Jean van / von Oijpen, captured in Baeswiller in 1374, which show a cross engrailed with a label overall. |
