Editing Westphalia (section)

====Current use====
The traditional symbol of Westphalia is the Westphalian Steed: a white horse on a red field. It is derived from the [[Saxon Steed]] in the coat of arms of the medieval [[Duchy of Saxony]] which most of today's Westphalia was part of. In official contexts the coat of arms of Westphalia is being used by the Westphalia-Lippe Regional Association,<ref name="Official Arms">[http://www.lwl.org/lwl-download/datei-download2/Politik/satzungen/1031581787_0/Hauptsatzung_15.11.2007_mit_Anlagen.pdf Hauptsatzung des LWL]</ref> which represents these two historic parts of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The [[coat of arms of North Rhine-Westphalia]] uses the Westphalian Steed to represent Westphalia as one of its parts alongside the Lippish Rose representing Lippe and the [[Rhine]] River representing the Northern Rhineland.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.landtag.nrw.de/portal/WWW/GB_II/II.1/OeA/60JAHRE/2707_Landeswappen.jsp |title=Landtag NRW: Das Wappen des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen |access-date=25 January 2017 |archive-date=2 February 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202062038/https://www.landtag.nrw.de/portal/WWW/GB_II/II.1/OeA/60JAHRE/2707_Landeswappen.jsp |url-status=dead }}</ref>
