Soest is a rather old city, it received city rights somewhere in the 12<sup>th</sup> century. The city was part of the [[Köln (State)|State of Köln]], and the oldest seal (known since 1170) shows the patron saint of Köln, St. Peter, sitting on a throne, holding a key and church and sitting in front of a city wall. The second seal (known since 1229) shows the same composition. The contra seals showed the patron saint of the city, St Patroklus as a knight. The use of a single key as arms dates from 1375 and was continued even when the rule of Köln ended in 1444. The key is the symbol of St. Peter. | Soest is a rather old city, it received city rights somewhere in the 12<sup>th</sup> century.
