Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on January 16, 1935, one year before Werdohl became a city. As there were no historical seals or arms known, the arms were newly devised.
The chequered bar is taken from the arms of the Counts of the Mark, as the town belonged to this dynasty for several centuries. The rose is taken from the seal of the local parish. The broken chain is taken from the arms of the Lords of Neuhoff, whose ancestral castle Pungelscheid is in the municipality (see also Lüdenscheid-Land). One of the members of this family, Baron Theodor von Neuhoff was for a short period in 1736 King of Corsica.
