Erkelenz received city rights in 1326 from Count Reinald III of Geldern, to be a fortified town against Jülich. The oldest seal, known from 1331 already shows the symbols of [[Geldern]], lion and flower. All later seals and images show the same composition. | Erkelenz received city rights in 1326 from Count Reinald III of Geldern, to be a fortified town against Jülich.
