To the surrender of Rotterdam, the weapon was given by William I, Count of Holland and Hainaut in thanks for the support of the lords of the Court of Wena in its fight against Flanders in 1304. The lions are the two red Dutch lions and two black Hainaut lions.
After World War II the motto Sterker door strijd (Stronger through effort) was added to the coat arms of Rotterdam. This motto was granted in January 1948 by Queen Wilhelmina.[1]
