Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on ??
The nine balls are the symbol of the local patron saint, St. Quirinus. The number nine is derived from the Latin name of the city of Neuss, Novesia. The parish of Twisteden was established by a monastery in Neuss. The number nine in Latin is novem, hence the nine balls for the link with Novesia.
The division of the shield symbolises the name of the town, which is derived from 'two-steads', namely the villages Heuvens and Huxen.
