Wappen von Rhade (Dorsten)

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms show a tree trunk, which is meant as a canting symbol. The name probably is derived from Roden, or to clear a forest. The village developed on an area of cleared forest. The local council in 1934 adopted the trunk thus as an appropriate symbol. The blue and gold symbolise the sky and the sandy soil.
