Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on ??-??-1965.
Rees became a city in 1228, the city rights were granted by Heinrich von Müllenark, Archbishop of Köln. The first seals showed St. Peter, the patron saint of Köln. In the 14th century the present arms appear.
The key is the symbol of St. Peter. In the 17th century often a knight or bishop is used as a supporter. Similarly, a buste of a bishop is often used as a crest in the 17-19th centuries.
The present arms were granted in 1965.
