Origin/meaning

The checquered field is the arms of the medieval Von Randerath family, who had their estate in Kleinenbroich.

The free quarter shows the head of the local patron saint, St. Dionysius. The head is chosen as his symbol, as he was decapitated.

Literature : Image obtained from the city of Korschenbroich
