REMSCHEID
State : Nordrhein-Westfalen
Urban District (Kreisfreie Stadt) : Remscheid
Additions : 1929 Lennep, Lüttringhausen
Official blazon
- (de) Auf geteiltem Wappenschild in der oberen Hälfte einen halben, aufrechtschreitenden, doppelschwänzigen Löwen in rot mit blauer Wehr; in der unteren Hälfte auf blauem Grund eine aufrechtstehende silberne Sichel mit braunem Griff.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on February 18, 1854.
Remscheid became a city in 1808 and the arms were based on a seal from 1556, and show in the upper part the lion of the Counts of Berg, who ruled the area in the 16th century. The sickle represents the speciality of the local forges, who were well known in a wide area. The arms were granted with a mural crown, a Prussian eagle behind the shield and a forger and his assistant as supporters. The supporters were removed before 1914, the Prussian eagle after 1918 and the crown around 1930.
