Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1922 with St. Lawrence, the patron saint, as supporter behind the shield.
Langscheid was founded in the late 13th century and received city rights from Count Ludwig of Arnsberg in 1307. The arms are based on the image in the Roll of Arms of Arnsberg dating from 1700. There are no older seals or images of the arms known. The meaning and origin of the two fish is not known.
