coat of arms

Seal of the community of Kleve

The “coat of arms” of the community cannot be heraldically described and is therefore not a coat of arms in the actual sense, but rather to be assigned to the image seals. It was elected by the community after the Second World War in the absence of official seals that are free from National Socialist and Imperial symbols and is still used today.

The image seal refers to the location and the place name of the municipality of Kleve (cliff = steep slope between Geest and Marsch ).
