The lion in the upper part is the lion of the counts of Berg, who owned the area. The lower part shows the bridge which was opened in 1936 and which connected the Düssel- and Neander-valleys. The town already had a nickname as the gate to the land of Berg, which is also symbolised by the bridge. In the new arms the bridge was replaced by a water mill wheel, which was taken from the arms of Hochdahl. | The lion in the upper part is the lion of the counts of Berg, who owned the area.
