Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
In a red shield is a silver (=white) casle having three towers. All are topped by golden balls. The roof aof the bigger central tower is shaped like a trapezium, the others like triangles. The catle has an embattled wall masoned black. The central tower is superipmosed by a shield placed bendily and and topped by a golden helmet (which is mearly invisible) crested by a red bull's head. The shield is red with a white inescutcheon topped by a golden escarbuncle having eight beams. In the open gate is a golden portcullis.
Meaning:
According to source the arms are based upon the image of the main seal, which had been approved by count Johann of Kleve, when Uedem gained city rights in 1359. Its existence can be proven since 1369. The crested shield is symbolizing the dukes of Kleve, the former rulers.
