Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1949 and show St. George, the patron saint of the town.
The key in the upper left corner is the symbol of St. Peter, the patron saint of the State of Köln, to which the town belonged for many centuries.
The arms are based on the oldest known seal of the town, known since 1307, see image below.
