KIERSPE

Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 29, 1969 and are identical to the arms of the former Amt Kierspe.
The chequered bar is derived from the arms of the Counts of the Mark, as the area historically belonged to the County Mark. The lion in the base of the shield is derived from the arms of the Dukes of Berg and was part of the arms of Rönsahl. The crow is based on the nickname of the inhabitants of the village Rauk (rook, crow).
Previously the town used the arms below, which were identical, but without the lion. These arms were granted on October 17, 1935.
