Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on August 16, 1928.
The arms are based on the old seals of Weeze. Weeze was in the 14th century a possession of both the counts of Geldern as the counts of Kleve. From 1446-1630 the local court already used a seal with the present arms. The right part of the arms show the patron saint, St.Cyrillus, and in the left upper half a lion's or dragon's head. The dragon is based on the legend of St.Cyrillus who put a dragon on a chain. The second seal of Weeze also shows the same arms.
Seal from around 1900 |
