The coat of arms shows in the left part the symbolized river (Rhein). The right part shows westfalen´s relationship to their famous horses.
3 areas of the coats of arms: The Prussian Rhine province (white line before green background), Westphalia (the white horse) and Lippe (the red rose).
|
The distance to the state capital Düsseldorf, located next to the river Rhein, is 60 km. Therefore, we almost had been forgotten by our government offices for a long period. (But we had the opportunity to live in quietness and peace).
