Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 21, 1961.

The arms show symbols of the main activities at the time, a plough for agriculture and miner's tools for the mining in the area. The cross is the symbol of the State of Köln, to which the village historically belonged. The silver and blue colours are those of the former County of Arnsberg, which later became part of the State of Köln.

Literature : Belke et al., 1986
