Official blazon
German	blazon wanted
English	blazon wanted

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on August 18, 1938.

Wülfrath used in the 19^th century, after the town received city rights in 1827 arms that showed a shepherd with a wolf, surrounded by a flock of sheep and lightened by a sun. These arms were based on a seal from 1620 from the local parish. It showed the local church and a shepherd fighting a wolf with a stick. It is probably symbolising the battle between good and evil. The wolf is chosen as a canting symbol.

As the old arms were really non-heraldic, the present arms were devised, in which church and sheep were omitted.
