|
MEHRHOOG
State : Nordrhein-Westfalen
District (Kreis) : Wesel (until 1969 Rees)
Incorporated into : 1969 Hamminkeln
Origin/meaning
The village never was a separate municipality, but until 1969 belonged to Haffen-Mehr.
The arms show a circle, based on the arms of Hamminkeln. The arms symbolise the structure of the soil in the municipality, the sandy heathlands and the green fields. The division line also symbolises the railway line that runs through the village from North-West to South-East.
