Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on December 11, 1972.
The arms are those of the former Amt Titz.
The arms show the lion of the Dukes of Jülich, who ruled the area for many centuries. The stars represent the former municipalities, whereas the moon is taken from the old arms of Titz.
The previous arms were granted on ?? and show the semae elements, but differently placed:
