English: Coat of arms from the former Kreis Coesfeld:
„Per pale gules, a benedictive bishop clothed Argent, in his left a crozier Argent, at his feet a goose Or and Or a fess gules.“ The arms were granted on August 8, 1956. The right part of the arms show St. Liudger, the main missionary under the German and Frisian tribes in the 8th century, and founder of the Prince-Bishopric of Münster. He is buried in Billerbeck in the district. The left part shows the arms of Münster, as the district historically belonged to Prince-Bishopric of Münster till 1803. Deutsch: Wappen des ehemaligen Kreises Coesfeld: „Gespalten von Rot und Gold (Gelb); vorn ein silbern (weiß) gekleideter segnender Bischof mit dem Stab in der Linken, zu seinen Füßen eine goldene (gelbe) Gans; hinten ein roter Balken.“ Das Wappen wurde am 8. August 1956 durch das nordrhein-westfälische Innenministerium verliehen. Es zeigt vorn den hl. Luidger, Gründer des Domstifts Münster. Die Gans, als sein Attribut fußt auf der Legende, dass er durch Wunderkraft sein Missionsgebiet von schädlichen Wildgänsen befreit haben soll. Er liegt im Kreisgebiet begraben in der Stadt Billerbeck. Die linke Hälfte zeigt das Wappen des Hochstifts Münster zu dem das Gebiet bis 1803 gehörte. |
