The Cologne coat of arms is composed of the three crowns of the Three Wise Men, whose relics were transferred to Cologne in 1164, and the eleven flames of Saint Ursula and the eleven virgins who are said to have suffered martyrdom in Cologne (eleven thousand virgins according to some legends). The red and white colors are those of the Hanseatic League.
