Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1913.
The oldest coins of Iserlohn date from the early 13th century and show a city wall with three towers. Later that century the middle tower was replaced by St. Pancratius, the patron saint of the city. In the early 14th century this composition was placed on the seal. In the 16th century the composition was placed in a shield to form the present arms. The chequered bar below the city wall is derived from the arms of the Counts of the Mark, who founded the city.
 Seal from around 1900 |
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
