State : Nordrhein-Westfalen
District (Kreis) : Rhein-Sieg Kreis
Additions : 1899 Wolsdorf
Official blazon
(de)
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1947.
The city received city rights in the early 13th century. The oldest seals show until 1430 a walled city. Later St. Anno, the patron saint appears on the seals. All later great seals show either a city or the saint.
Smaller seals (ad causas) show St. Michael, the patron saint of the mighty abbey of Siegburg, behind the arms of the Counts of Berg, a lion. Since 1558 the small shield was replaced by a mountain and a (free)lion. This seal was used for the present arms, which were granted in new and more defined colours in 1947.Hupp showed the arms in the 1920s in a different composition, with the lion in a shield, see below.
