Wappen von Birten / Arms of Birten

Official blazon

  • (de)

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on December 11, 1962.

The arms are based on the 15th century seal of the village. The seal showed a divided shield with in the upper half the local patron saint, St. Peter, and in the lower half a half escarbuncle of the Duchy of Kleve. In the above arms the saint was replaced by his symbol, the key, which was placed on the escarbuncle.
