The arms were granted in 1895.
The upper right corner shows a wheel and some miner's tools, symbols of the industry and mining in the area. The blue anchor symbolises the importance of shipping. The point shows the combined arms of the Myllendonck (black bars) and Stecke families, who ruled the town as vassals of the Dukes of Kleve.
The oldest seal of Meiderich dates from 1449 and shows the patron saint, St. George, killing the dragon, with besides him a shield woth the arms of the Stecke family. In 1478 the Myllendonck family acquired the estate through marriage. They ruled the town until 1633.
