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 13^th century. The lion in the arms is the lion of the Counts of Berg. The oldest seal of the city, dating from the 14^th 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 20^th century the arms below were shown in the Kaffee Hag albums. These arms show the same composition, but in different colours.
