The arms are derived from the arms of the Counts of Sayn. Altenkirchen received city rights in 1314 from the Counts of Sayn, who made it the capital of a new County in the 17<sup>th</sup> century. The lion already appears on the oldest known seal of the city, dating from the 15<sup>th</sup> century, with St. Martin, the patron saint of the city, as supporter. The arms were officially granted by Emperor Wilhelm II in 1907. | The arms are derived from the arms of the Counts of Sayn.
