Kalkar became a city early in the 13<sup>th</sup> century and was walled around 1250. The oldest known seal, dating from the 14<sup>th</sup> century, shows a castle, with on the middle tower the arms of the counts of [[Kleve]], the city was part of the county of Kleve. The old arms of Kleve were a red shield with a white escutcheon. Later seals show on the tower arms like the present one, except that the towers are replaced by roses. The towers do not appear until the 15<sup>th</sup> century. The small towers finally replaced the main castle behind the shield. The arms thus did not change since the 15<sup>th</sup> century. In the 17<sup>th</sup> century and later a knight was often used as a supporter for the arms, but in 1974 when the arms were officially granted, the supporter was omitted. | |||
