Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1953 and show in the upper part the bar, taken from the arms of the Counts of the Mark. These Counts historically ruled the area for many centuries. The lower part shows the Ennepe river, with the chevron as a symbol of the old municipalities that formed the new city.
