Origin/meaning
The town is first mentioned as having a council in the 13th century and gradually became a possession of the Counts of Bentheim. In the middle of the 17th century the first seal was made. It showed three holly leaves in a crowned shield. The holly, (Hülst in the North-West German dialect) is a canting symbol. The arms thus never changed since.
The municipality nowadays uses the arms again placed in a shield as a mis-interpretation of the true arms :
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
