| '''Origin/meaning :'''<br/>
| |
| In 1935 they were officially granted to the Amt Blankenheim and again in 1971 after the merger with the other municipalities, none of which used arms.
| |
| | |
| The arms show the arms of the counts of Blankenheim. The village grew around the castle of the Blankenheim family and received city rights in the 14<sup>th</sup> century. The arms already appear on the first seal, dating from around 1380. The arms are held by St. Margartha and St. George. The arms have never changed since.
| |
| | |
| The lion of Blankenheim can also be seen in the arms of [[Gerolstein]] and [[Mechernich]] as well as several other towns and villages.
