Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on November 19, 1973.
Kevelaer belonged until the 17th century to Wetten. In the 17th century the pilgimage to Kevelaer started and the town was separated from Wetten.
The first and only known seal of Kevelaer shows St. Anthony, the patron saint of the town. To the left of the saint the medlar flower of the Counts of Geldern. The medlar was also used in the arms of Wetten.
The seal of Kevelaer from 1687-1742 |
In the 19th century the town started to use arms, which have not officially been granted. These arms were based on an inscription in a stone in the shrine in the town and show in the right part the cross of St. Anthony and in the left a trefoil. It is likely that the trefoil originally is the medlar.

The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
The present arms are a combination of the medlar of Geldern and Wetten and the fleur-de-lis of the arms of Kervenheim.
