Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on August 17, 1977.

Geseke was founded in 1220 by the archbishops of Köln. The oldest known seal dates from 1237 and shows a walled tower and two crossed keys on the main tower. These are the symbol of St. Peter, patron saint of Köln. Later seals show a bishop and St. Peter, the latter holding a key. Around 1600 the cross appears as symbol of the city on stones and buildings. The cross is derived from the arms of the State of Köln, a black cross in silver.

In 1700 the cross was first used as official city arms.
In the new arms a wheel, derived from the arms of the Amt Störmede, was added. Most of the former municipalities were part of the Amt Störmede.

The previous arms were granted on November 16, 1902.
