The town developed around a monastery and became a city in 1200. The arms are probably a combination of the arms of the Counts of [[Jülich]] and a symbol of the Virgin Mary, the star. Both already appear in the seals from the early 14<sup>th</sup> century. Sometimes the star has 6 points, but the present arms are based on the seal of 1632, which shows five points. | The town developed around a monastery and became a city in 1200.
