Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on February 17, 1977.
The arms are based on the old arms (see below), but now the balls on the gate symbolise the 13 parts of the new municipality. St. Vitus remained in the arms, but St. Mary was replaced by the bishop taken from the arms of Peckelsheim.
The previous arms were granted on July 18, 1908.
The arms are based on the oldest known seal of the city, dating from 1318. The city was founded by the neighbouring convent, and the seal was based on that of the convent. The seal showed in a Gothic-style church the two local patron saints, St. Vitus (Veit) and St. Mary. On the older seals also the Bishop of Paderborn was often shown in the base between the two saints. The city historically belonged to the State of Paderborn.
