===Origin/meaning===
===Origin/meaning===
The first (left) arms were granted on August 6, 1948, the second on October 31, 1973.
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.
