Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on November 7, 1934.

Radevormwald was a settlement on the eastern borders of the county of Berg. It thus had strategic importance and became a city in the end of the 13th century. The lion in the arms is the lion of the Counts of Berg. The oldest seal of the city, dating from the 14th century, already shows the lion with a key. All later seals show the same image. The origin of the key is not clear. It may have had a religious meaning, but it has also been speculated that it symbolises the iron industry in the town.

In the early 20th century the arms below were shown in the Kaffee Hag albums. These arms show the same composition, but in different colours.
