The upper part of the arms shows the lion of [[geldern|Geldern]], as the area belonged to the Duchy of Geldern. The lower part shows wavy bars and represents the former municipality of Beek (Beek means Bach, or stream, brook).

Hupp showed the arms in the 1920s different arms, shown below, which are based on the oldest known seal of the village, dating from the 16<sup>th</sup> century. The city adopted the composition in the new seal in the early 20<sup>th</sup> century and Hupp added the colours, which have no historical meaning. The upper part shows St. Peter, the lower a cross. Most likely both refer to the [[Köln (State)|State of Köln]] (black cross, St. Peter is patron saint of Köln). Next to the saint is a small bread, as during the middle ages, the church distributed small breads to the people. | Hupp showed the arms in the 1920s different arms, shown below, which are based on the oldest known seal of the village, dating from the 16<sup>th</sup> century.
