Erpel belonged to the [[Köln (State)|State of Köln]] and the oldest seal dates from the late 13<sup>th</sup> century. This seal, and all later seals until the 17<sup>th</sup> century, show the patron saint of Köln, St. Peter, with two crossed keys, his symbol. In the 18<sup>th</sup> century the three crowns, the symbol of Trinity and also part of the arms of the city of [[Köln]], replaced St. Peter on the seals. The last seal, dating form the early 19<sup>th</sup> century, only shows the cross of the State of Köln. | Erpel belonged to the [[Köln (State)|State of Köln]] and the oldest seal dates from the late 13<sup>th</sup> century.
