Origin/meaning

The arms were January 15, 1935 and again on March 16, 1976.

The arms from 1935

The first arms show a bordure based on the arms of the Counts of the Mark, who used a chequered bar in a golden shield. The village historically belonged to the County of Mark. The three wolf-hooks are derived from the arms of the Brabeck family (see also Gladbeck), who lived for many centuries in the local castle.

The new arms are identical to the old arms of the Amt Hemer, to which all of the towns and villages belonged until 1975. Hemer grew rapidly in the early 20^th century and received city rights in 1936.
