Coat of arms

Deutsch: Moderne Zeichnung des Stadtwappens der kreisfreien Stadt Krefeld (analog zum Logo mit Text)

English: City of Krefeld

Français : Ville-arrondissement de Krefeld

Blazon

Deutsch: „Der gespaltene Wappenschild zeigt vorn in Silber den heiligen Dionysius mit Heiligen schein und rotem Ornat, den Bischofsstab in der Rechten, das abgeschlagene Haupt in der Linken, zu seinen Füßen ein goldenes Schildchen mit schwarzem Balken, hinten in blau über rot geteiltem Feld zwei abgewendete goldene Schlüssel, begleitet von silbernen Schilden mit schwarzen Balkenkreuzen.“

English: « The arms are a combination of the old arms of Krefeld and Uerdingen. The historical arms of Krefeld show the patron saint, St. Dionysius, with in front of him the arms of Moers. Krefeld was in the territory of the counts of Moers. The arms are known since the 14th century. After the merger in 1930, the new city adopted arms in 1931 with the old arms of Krefeld and Uerdingen combined per fess (=horizontally). In 1950 this was replaced by the combination per pale. »
