Origin/meaning
The arms are derived from the arms of the counts of Blankenheim-Gerolstein and identical to the arms of Blankenheim. Gerhard von Blankenheim founded Gerolstein in 1330, and the village received city rights already in 1336. The counts of Blankenheim-Gerolstein ruled the village until 1423. Later rulers never changed the arms.
The great seal of Gerolstein showed the arms over a city wall and two saints as supporters, St. Christopher and St. Anna. These were not added to the arms proper.
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
 The arms on a special cancellation 1986 |
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
