Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on April 19, 1938.

The arms show the eagle of the Counts of Arnsberg in the right half. The left half shows the pales of the Lords von Bilstein, who held several estates until the early 14th century, when these estates were acquired by the Counts of Arnsberg.

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
