Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The upper right corner shows a wheel and some miner's tools, symbols of the industry and mining in the area. The blue anchor symbolises the importance of shipping. The point shows the combined arms of the Mylendonck (black bars) and Stecke families, who ruled the town as vassals of the Dukes of Kleve.
The oldest seal of Meiderich dates from 1449 and shows the patron saint, St. George, killing the dragon, with besides him a shield woth the arms of the Stecke family. In 1478 the Mylendonck family acquired the estate through marriage. They ruled the town until 1633.
Deutsch: "Gespalten durch eine eingebogene gespaltene Spitze; darin vorne eine fünfmalige Teilung in Gold und Schwarz, hinten in Gold geteilt durch einen rot-silbernen Wolkenschnitt; von Silber und Blau; vorne ein schwarzes Zahnrad belegt mit gekreuzten schwarzen Schlägel und schwarzen Hammer, hinten ein goldener Anker.Das Oberwappen zeigt eine rote Mauerkrone mit drei Türmen.“ Schlägel und Hammer sind die Symbole des Bergbaus. Das Zahnrad versinnbildlicht die Industrie. Der Anker ist Hinweis auf die Schifffahrt. Die vordere Teilung der eingeschweiften Spitze erinnert an die Familie Mylendonk die zwei Balken im Wappen flührten. Der rot-silbeme Wolkenschnitt ist dem Wappen der Familie Stecke entnommen. Beide Familien übten die ihnen vom Landesherrn zugestandene Gerichtsbarkeit in der Herrlichkeit Meiderich aus. |
