Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1963 and are based on the local seal dating from 1350. The lion is the lion of Jülich, as the area was a possession of the Counts (later Dukes) of Jülich. The lower part of the municipality was until the 14th century a free Royal estate, which is symbolised by the Royal eagle.
