Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on November 27, 1937.

The cross is the cross of the State of Köln, to which the area historically belonged. The rose and whell are both taken from the arms of the Lords of Hoerde. The rose is derived from the arms of the medieval Lords of Störmede, the wheel is the original arms of the Von Hoerde family. The Von Hoerde family were the decendants of the Von Störmede family, when this family became extinct. Elements of the arms of Amt Störmede are also part of the arms of some of the municipalities in the Amt.
