The Code of Arms ... belongs to Uerdingen, which is the oldest part of the City of Krefeld. Uerdingen received the city rights already in 1273. The two keys resemble the power to the city hall and the finances of this harbor town of the river Rhine.
I visited this place again and from this very same point my father made a picture of me when I was just 2 years old. (is with my sister) | | | Code of Arms Krefeld-Uerdingen |
