Origin/meaning
The present arms were officially granted in 1955 and did not change after the additions in 1969.
Kleve became a city in the 13th century. The arms show the old arms of the counts of Kleve, a red shield with a white escutcheon. The trefoils, or Kleeblättern, may be a canting symbol. The oldest great seals of the city show a castle or a city with between the towers the arms of the counts of Kleve (see the county arms).
The present arms also appear in 14th century contra-seals. From the 16th century the colours of the arms are known. In the 17th century often a knight was used as supporter and as a crest on the helmet a swan, with the small city arms hanging on a rope around his neck, was used, see below.
