Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on March 10, 1937.
The arms show the lion of Jülich, as the main part of the district was owned by the counts of Jülich, holding a typical coal-mining pick-axe (Kohlenhacke). The tool represents the brown coal mining in the county, whereas the wheat-crown represents the agriculture.
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
