Summary edit
| Description |
English: The local court in Veert was already in the early 14th century a possession of Geldern. The judges of Geldern also presided in Veert. The oldest seal of the court and village of Veert dates from 1449 and shows a divided shield with in the upper part the lion of Geldern and in the lower part two crossed bishop's sticks. A second seal of Veert dating from 1632 shows a completely different image. It only shows the image of the patron saint, St. Martin sitting on a horse and cutting his mantle for a next to him standing beggar.
Deutsch: "Das Wappen trägt auf rotem Grund ein silbernes (weißes) Balkenkreuz, dass mit einer schwarzen Scheibe, darauf eine fünfblättrige blaue Mispelblüte mit goldenen (gelben) Butzen und goldenen (gelben) Kelchblättern, belegt ist." Das Balkenkreuz (Kreuz von Köln) steht für die Kölner Bürger, die seit 1663 nach Kevelaer pilgerten und 1686 das älteste Heiligenhäuschen am Niedrrhein in Veert errichteten. Die Mispelblüte (Geldrische Rose) steht für die Zugehörigkeit zu Geldern und das Rot erinnert an den Schutzpatron St. Martin, welcher in älteren Siegeln Veerts abgebildet ist. |
