Rhein-Kreis Neuss - Coat of Arms

Coat of Arms

The coat of arms was continued from the district Grevenbroich. The lion in the right side comes from the city of Jülich. The black cross in the left comes from the Cologne coat of arms. Both the bishops of Cologne as well as the dukes of Jülich owned land of the Neuss district.

Famous quotes containing the words coat and/or arms:

    An aged man is but a paltry thing,
    A tattered coat upon a stick,
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I’ve been opened and undressed.
    I have no arms or legs.
    I’m all one skin like a fish.
    I’m no more a woman
    than Christ was a man.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
