Origin/meaning
In the village of Rehme a spa was founded in 1751 and this spa was enlarged in 1839 by Karl von Oeynhausen. The village changed its name in 1847 to Bad Oeynhausen and became a city in 1860. Probably at the same time the arms were devised. The arms show the ladder of the arms of the Von Oyenhausen family. As a supporter the goddess Hygieia was added, holding a snake and scales. On the arms a wall-crown was added with the year 1860. Later the supporter and crown are no longer used.
In the new arms, which were granted on December 12, 1973, the three ducklings from the arms of Amt Rehme have been added to the arms.
