Additions : 1979 Dieperzen
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms are derived from the arms of the Counts of Sayn. Altenkirchen received city rights in 1314 from the Counts of Sayn, who made it the capital of a new County in the 17th century. The lion already appears on the oldest known seal of the city, dating from the 15th century, with St. Martin, the patron saint of the city, as supporter. The arms were officially granted by Emperor Wilhelm II in 1907.
