The old arms (below) were granted on February 19, 1912. The new arms have been used since 1951 but were formally granted on November 27, 1979.
Medebach was part of the State of Köln and received town rights in 1144. All seals of the town until the 19th century show the image of St. Peter, the patron saint of Köln. In 1912 the city received arms, which were based on these seals, see image below.
