RUMELN-KALDENHAUSEN
State : Nordrhein-Westfalen
District (Kreis) : Duisburg (until 1974 Moers)
Additions : 1935 Kaldenhausen, Rumeln
Incorporated into : 1974 Duisburg
Origin/meaning
The arms are officially granted on January 28, 1958.
Rumeln and Kaldenhausen merged in 1935. The black cross of the State of Köln symbolises Kaldenhausen as the city was a longtime possession of the bishops of Köln. The three roses symbolise Rumeln, and are taken from the arms of the Lords and estate of Friemersheim, to which the village belonged.
