Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on February 29, 1956.

The arms show a red bar, the arms of the State of Münster, but the bar was officially derived from the (alleged) arms of the Counts of Cappenberg, as the area was part of the historical County Cappenberg. The roses are derived from the arms of the Lords of Stein, who, in the 19^th century, often resided at the Cappenberg castle.

To the Amt belonged:

Altlunen
Bork
Selm
