RHEIN-ERFT KREIS (BM) (until 2003 ERFTKREIS)
State : Nordrhein-Westfalen
Additions : 1972 Köln, Bergheim
| German | blazon wanted |
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 20, 1976.
The arms show the lion of Jülich and the cross of Köln. The former district Bergheim was mainly a territory owned by the counts of Jülich in former times, whereas the district Köln was ruled by the bishops of that city. The wavy fess in the upper part represents the Erft, the small river that gives the district its name.
