ESBECK
State : Nordrhein-Westfalen
District (Kreis) : Soest (until 1975 Lippstadt)
Amt : Amt Störmede (until 1975)
Incorporated into : 1975 Lippstadt
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on March 10, 1961.
The arms show three wavy lines, which are partly a canting symbol (Beck=Bach=stream/river), but are derived from the medieval family Von Esbeck, which were important families in the cities of Lippstadt and Soest.
