Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on June 24, 1911 and confirmed in slightly different composition on February 6, 1976.
Balve was a town in the County of Arnsberg until 1368, when it became part of the Duchy of Westfalen, part of the State of Köln. The town received city rights in 1430 by the bishop of Köln. The oldest seal probably dates from the same time and shows already the combination of the eagle of Arnsberg and the cross of Köln.
