The town got city rights in 1222 by bishop Engelbert of Köln (Cologne). The first seal of the city showed the patron saint of the diocese, St. Peter, with a crescent next to his head. The crescent may be the symbol of St. John Baptist, the local parish saint. Later seals show St. Peter sitting on a throne, sometimes with a shield with the arms of the diocese (black cross) at his feet. In the 15th century the crescent is placed in the first quarter of the shield.
