Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on September 24, 1970.

As combination of the old arms was impossible, the new municipality choose to continue the arms of the former Amt Ludendorf. It shows the cross of the State of Köln and the two bars of the Lords of Tomburg. About half of the villages belonged to Köln, the rest was ruled by the Lords of Tomburg.

Literature : Nagel, R. Rheinisches Wappenbuch, 1986.
