| German | In Gold eine aus einem in drei Reihen von Rot und Silber geschachten, gesenkten Balken wachsende, den oberen Schildrand berührende, silbernimbierte, goldbekrönte blonde Heilige in natürlichen Farben, in rotem Gewande mit silbernem Gurt und blauem Mantel, in der Rechten ein silbernes Schwert und mit der Linken ein oberhalbes rotes Richtrad mit silbernen Messern haltend. |
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms are based on the old seal of the town, known since the 15th century.
The chequered bar is derived from the arms of the Counts of (Altena-)Mark, who granted the village some privileges in 1367. The town became a city only in the 18th century.
Saint Catherine is the patron saint of the local church, built in 1310.
