Origin/meaning
As all villages historically belonged to the Kerpen estate, the bar of the Lords of Kerpen was placed in the chief. The Lords of Kerpen were vassals of the Dukes of Aremberg, who used medlar flowers in their arms. The four flowers thus refer to the arms of the Dukes and the four former municipalities.
The lower part shows the grill of St. Lawrence, the local patron saint.
