Unter einem silbernen Schildhaupt, darin ein durchgehendes schwarzes Balkenkreuz, gespalten von Blau und Gold, vorne drei um einen goldenen Ring 2:1 gestellte silberne Mühleisen, hinten ein von einem rechtsweisenden silbernen Schwert geteilter roter Mantel. |

Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on February 8, 1979.
The cross in the arms is again the cross of Köln, which was part of the old arms of both Kaarst and Büttgen. The lower right part of the arms show the arms of the Van Werth family, who played an important role in the local history (see also Büttgen). The lower left part shows the cloak of St. Martin with the sword.
The old arms of Kaarst (below) showed the patron saint of the village, St. Martin, and the cross of the State of Köln, as the village was part of the State of Köln.
