Origin / meaning

The arms were granted on March 17, 1950.
The arms show the local patron Saint St. Gertrudis behind the two shields.
The arms were based on the oldest known seal of Zandvliet, dating from 1692. The left shield with the blue bar is probably the proper arms of the village and may symbolize the Schelde river. The right shield shows the arms of the St. Michaels Abbey in Antwerp, which owned the village and had rebuilt the local church in 1648 after the Spanish had burned it down."

"Berendrecht (Dutch pronunciation: ['be?r?(n)dr?xt]), Zandvliet (Dutch pronunciation: ['z?ntflit]) and Lillo (Dutch pronunciation: ['l?lo?]) are three towns along the seaport docks north of the old city of Antwerp in Flanders, Belgium. The substantial 1983 merger with former municipalities, led in 2000 to the decentralisation of this enlarged municipality of Antwerp while these three towns merged into one of the city's districts, called Berendrecht-Zandvliet-Lillo or Bezali."
