Origin/meaning

The kettle-hook is used as a symbol for agriculture and for the first fireplace in the village. The blue bar is the Basbecke stream, on which banks the village developed. The pale itself is derived from the arms of the Lords of Brobergen, who had some land in the area in the 13^th century and built their estate in the 15^th century in Basbeck.
