Origin/meaning

The cross is a Christian symbol and here also a symbol for St. Mary (blue is her colour, a fleur-de-lys her symbol). The rose is the symbol for St. Theresa of Lisieux, the patron saint of the parish in Lennep, where he was a priest. The three crowns are the symbol of the Three Kings and are also part of the arms of the city of Köln. The black balls refer to Neuss, the place where he was born. The leaf refers to the Friedland refugee camp, where he worked for many years.
