Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on September 12, 1938.

Kallenhardt was founded by the archbishops of Köln in the 13^th century. The oldest seals, dating from the 13th-15^th century, all show the patron saint of the city, St. Clement. The present arms are first seen in a seal from 1650, and later in a roll of arms dating from 1700. The meaning or origin of the symbol, however, is not known.
