Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Germany - Deutsche Wappen (Gemeindewappen/Kreiswappen) |
ÜBACH-PALENBERG
State : Nordrhein-Westfalen
District (Kreis) : Heinsberg
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1937 and show in the upper part the sceptre of the abbey of Thorn, to which the town belonged. The same symbol is used by Ubach over Worms, a Dutch municipality, right across the border.
The lower part shows the lions of Jülich (black) and to the left the lion of Heinsberg. Parts of the municipality belonged to either Jülich or Heinsberg for many centuries.
Literature : Stadler, K. : Deutsche Wappen - Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Angelsachsen Verlag, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
