Krefeld historically had not been granted arms, the city used the image of the patron saint, St. Dionysius, with in front of him the arms of Moers since the 14th century. Interestingly, the saint is often shown with his head in his arms ánd still on his neck. Normally the saint is shown beheaded and holding his head. As the city did not have official arms, there are a number of different arms
After the mergers in 1929 the city adopted arms with a combination of the arms of Krefeld and Uerdingen (keys).
