===Origin/meaning===
Herne was an unimportant village until the mining and industry started to develop in the 19th century. The village received city rights in 1897 and in July 30, 1900 the arms were granted by King Wilhelm II of Prussia. No arms or seals are known for Herne prior to 1900. In 1900 the arms were topped by a mural crown, which was officially abandoned on November 30, 1937, when new arms were granted. The current arms were granted on January 1st, 1975. The arms combine the horse of Wanne-Eickel with the miner's tools from the older arms.

Origin/meaning

Herne was an unimportant village until the mining and industry started to develop in the 19th century. The village received city rights in 1897 and in July 30, 1900 the arms were granted by King Wilhelm II of Prussia. No arms or seals are known for Herne prior to 1900. In 1900 the arms were topped by a mural crown, which was officially abandoned on November 30, 1937, when new arms were granted. The current arms were granted on January 1st, 1975. The arms combine the horse of Wanne-Eickel with the miner's tools from the older arms.

  • Wappen von Herne/Arms (crest) of Herne

    The arms from 1900

  • Wappen von Herne/Arms (crest) of Herne

    The arms from 1937

The tree in the old arms is described as the tree of Westfalen, the area to which the city belongs. The meaning of the tree, however, is unknown. Westfalen uses a horse in its arms, not a tree.

The small hill in the base of the arms is canting, Herne is supposedly derived from Hügel (hill).
The small shield in the base shows the miner's tools, obvious symbols for (at the time) a mining town. The trefoil is actually taken from the national symbol of Ireland. The trefoil, or shamrock in Irish-English, was taken as a canting symbol for the oldest mine, the Shamrock mine. The Shamrock mine was founded by the Irish coal mine pioneer William Thomas Mulvany. He also founded the coal mine Hibernia (Latin for „Ireland“) in Gelsenkirchen and „Erin“ (Irish goddess) in Castrop-Rauxel.
