Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on October 21, 1952.

Oberhausen grew from a unimportant village to a large industrial town in the last century and became a city in 1874. The arms show the symbols for mining (hammer), trade (caduceus, staff of Mercure) and industry (tools and wheel).

The first arms were granted on February 29, 1888 by King William (I) of Prussia, showing the first quarter in black and white, the Prussian colours (see below).
