St. Ursula & Cologne's Flag.
gliango | April 07, 2009
Köln - Deutschland
The three crowns, symbolising the three Holy Kings, first appeared in 1315, in a chief above a silver shield. Relics of the Three Kings were taken to the city in 1164 by Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa. Later (around 1500) the shield was 'filled' with ermine. Officially there are 11 ermine tails, symbolising the 11.000 virgins of Saint Ursula. As St. Ursula was a princess of Bretagne (Brittany) the virgins were depicted as ermine tails. The arms of Brittany are a plain shield of ermine.
The original description in the legend of St. Ursula read XI m. virg. This has to be translated as 11 martyred virgins, not as 11.000 (M for 1000) virgins...

Hl. Ursula & Köln's Flag.
In der Basilika St.Ursula zu Köln,

den Pilgerten gegenüber! Es war eine kurze Zeit aber eine mein schönsten! Leider wurde ich Karank! ✍️More

Saint Ursula: She is even on the City of Cologne's flag, (symbols), and
Blessed Anna Katharina Emmerick saw her story--to be true--see pp.518-520, in the Tan Ed. of The Life and Revelations...

The saint itself, nor its symbol, two crossed keys, appeared in the arms of the city itself. They do appear, together with a black cross, the symbol of the State of Köln, in many Civic Heraldry around the city (see f.e. Xanten
). The three crowns, symbolising the three Holy Kings, first appeared in 1315, in a chief above a silver shield.

The colours of the shield are the colours of the Hanseatic league, the major league of merchant cities in the early Middle Ages. Köln was a founding member of the league.
The Imperial Eagle was granted in the 15th century and symbolised the rank of free imperial city. The arms were granted in 1817 and confirmed in 1897.
