GEMÜND
State : Nordrhein-Westfalen
District (Kreis) : Euskirchen (until 1971 Schleiden)
Incorporated into : 1971 Schleiden
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1937, and show the conjunction of the Urft and Olfe rivers, making it a canting symbol (Gemünd is derived from Mouth of the river).
The escutcheon shows the arms of the Counts (later Dukes) of Jülich, as the area became part of Jülich in 1371.
