Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on January 25, 2019.

The eagle is a canting element for the name of the village in the 12th century, namely Aquilevilla (eagle-town in Latin).

The Roman spear refers to Saint Quirinius of Neuss, patron saint of the parish. The sceptre, or hand-of-justice, refers to the historical courts that took place in the town.

The green field refers in particular to the deciduous forests and fir trees surrounding the town.
