Düren County Coat of Arms

Shield is parted per fess, above Or a demi-lion rampant issuant Sable tongued Gules, beneath Azure a sheet of paper Argent superimposed by a black initial "D".
Meaning:
According to source the lion is taken from the arms of the Dukes of Jülich. They gained control over the nowadays county district's territory between 1177 and 1423. In 1246 the free imperial city of Düren was mortgaged to the Dukes of Jülich. The "D" is symbolising Düren, the sheet of paper turns out, that in the 16th century the region of Düren was famous for its paper manufacturing all over the world.
