Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 15, 1955.
The arms are based on the seal of the court of Lövenich from the 16th century. The lion is the lion of the Counts of <a href=j/julich|Jülich]] as the area historically belonged to the County Jülich. The three hops flowers symbolise the former importance of the culture of hops in the area.
