Coat of arms of the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer

The coat of arms of the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer is the most traditional symbol for recognition. By combining the medlar flower from Geldern with an element from the coat of arms of Kleve - a lily from the so-called "Lilienhaspel" (actually a carbuncle shield) - the coat of arms expresses the fact that the area of the municipality of Kevelaer, newly formed in 1969, sits astride an ancient territorial border, namely parts of the former duchies of Geldern and Kleve.

The coat of arms is the national emblem of the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer and as such is protected by law. The use of the coat of arms is reserved for the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer. The coat of arms is used in official documents such as deeds or seals.

The coat of arms can be used by private individuals and associations under certain conditions. Written permission from the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer is required for use.
