Origin/meaning
The city of Bentheim received the arms in 1661 from Count Ernst Wilhelm of Bentheim. The golden balls are derived from the arms of the County (see the district arms).

In the late 19th century the arms of the city were restored, but the number of balls varied during the years.
Only in 1955, when the present arms were granted, the number became fixed.
