===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The first (below) arms were granted on August 6, 1948, the second (above) on October 31, 1973. | |||
The first arms show the three main symbols of income of the time; a hammer for the mining industry, a wheat ear for agriculture and the spindle for the textile industry. The upper part of the arms show the arms of the [[Köln (State)|State of Köln]], as the bishops of Köln ruled the largest part of the county. The arms were granted with two supporters; on the left side a red lion, crowned gold, on the right side a black lion, tongued red. The red lion is the lion of [[Valkenburg (Li)|Valkenburg]] and represents the fact that the city of [[Euskirchen]] received city rights form the Lords of Monschau-Valkenburg in 1302. The black lion is the lion of [[Jülich]], who also owned parts of the county. | |||
The new arms represent the four main dynasties/territories of which the new county is made of; the first quarter shows the roses of the counts of Arenberg; the second quarter the lion of Jülich, the third the cross of Köln and the fourth the arms of the counts of Manderscheid-Blankenheim. | |||
