Origin/meaning
The first arms were granted in 1930. In 1936 Erwitte received city rights and on January 3, 1939 new arms were granted. The current arms are identical to the old arms of Amt Erwitte and were granted on December 21, 1977.
The arms from 1939
The history of the arms of Erwitte is rather complicated. Erwitte did not have formal arms until 1930. In 1930 arms were granted, based on the oldest seal, known from 1551 and 1623. The arms showed the patron saint of Erwitte, St. Lawrence, with the grill and a palm leaf as supporter behond a shield showing the cross of the State of Köln. Historically the town belonged to Köln.
I have no image of those arms.
The arms granted in 1936 were a combination of the lion of the Lords of Erwitte in the upper half, and in the lower half the arms of the Lords of Landsberg. Both families ruled over the town until the late 16th century.
In 1951 the city suddenly returned to the use of the old arms from 1930. However, on February 12, 1958 the arms of 1936 were confirmed. These arms were used until 1977.
