The center of the yellow background shows the Erft, which flows into the Rhine at Grimlinghausen, and the now defunct Roman bridge over the river. The anchor symbolizes the earlier importance of the Rhine and especially of fishing for the place. The two red flowers represent widespread agriculture, in earlier times mainly the cultivation of pansies . Based on the widespread husbandry of goats, the actual coat of arms is supported in numerous depictions of two white goats. The model is the coat of arms of the city of Neuss, which is lined with two golden lions.
