Stefan Schwoon, 6 February 2001

From Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website:

The arms were granted on July 14, 1978. The arms of the three former counties [Dinslaken, Moers (both partly) and Rees] could not be combined, so new arms were devised. The tree symbolises the local tree Kopfweide (a type of willow), with 13 branches and three roots. The branches represent the municipalities and cities in the district and the roots are the three former districts.
Literature: Nagel 1986.
