Summary[edit]

Description
Deutsch: Wappen der ehemaligen Gemeinde Rindern, seit 1969 Stadtteil von Kleve: „Gespalten in Rot und Gold (Gelb), vorn ein goldener (gelber) Schlüssel, dessen Bart nach links zeigt und hinten ein rotes Krücken- oder vierfaches Taukreuz in wechselnden Farben.“ Das Wappen wurde erst vom Amt Rindern geführt. Der Petrischlüssel stammt von einem Siegel aus dem 15. Jahrhundert und das Krückenkreuz vom Siegel der Gemeinde Düffelward, welches den hl. Mauritius mit dem vierfachen Taukreuz auf einem Schild zeigt. Die Farben sind die des Herzogtums Kleve.
English: „Party per pale shield, countercolouring gules and Or, a standing key Or with a left pointed burr and on the left a cross potent gules.“ The arms were granted on January 25, 1967. The arms were originally granted to the Amt Rindern, and later adopted by the municipality. The key is taken from the local seal dating from the 15th century. The seal showed the local patron saint St. Peter, with the key as his symbol. The cross is taken from the seal of the nearby village Düffelward. The seal showed St. Mauritius holding a shield with the cross. The meaning of the cross is not known. The red and gold colours are those of the former Duchy of Kleve.
