Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted in 1911.

The arms combine the cross of the State of Köln and the eagle of the Counts of Arnsberg. The oldest seal of the town dates from the 15^th century and shows St. Peter, the patron saint of Köln, behind a divided shield. The shield shows an eagle in one half and no recognizable image in the other half.
