municipal website.
The arms are derived form the arms of the counts of Bentheim (nowadays
in Germany). The counts owned in the 12th-14th century a castle and grounds
in Geldermalsen. Even though the village was owned by other families ever
since, the arms remained the Bentheim arms.
After the merger between Gelderlmalsen and three neighbouring municipalities
symbols were added to the arms: a horse for Deil and a column for Buurmalsen.
In addition a fleur-de-lis was added to represent two other villages in
the municipality; Meteren and Rumpt. The top of the shield was made gold,
similarly as in the arms of Beesd.
