Geusenengel or Geusen-Daniel are the name given to the trombone angels in the diaspora of the former Duchy of Jülich on the Lower Rhine. Trombone angels on the roof turrets and towers of Protestant houses of worship in this area serve as weather vanes. The often hidden small churches also served as places of worship for the Geuze who fled from the Netherlands and joined the Protestants working in secret. Their name was then transferred to the Jülich Protestants. The Geusendaniel was probably a fad at the time when these churches were first allowed to attach a bell turret or church tower on or to their churches and houses of prayer. Especially after the Second World War, the Geuse angel became the symbol of the Protestant Christians in the Lower Rhine region. Examples can be found in Goch, in Geldern (Heilig-Geist-Kirche) or in the Marktkirche Kettwig.
