HALTERN AM SEE

District (Kreis) : Recklinghausen
Additions : 1974 Flaesheim; 1975 Amt Haltern, Amt Marl (partly), Hamm
Official blazon

Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1939.
The arms show a halter as a canting symbol. Haltern received city rights around 1300 and the oldest seal dates from the same time. The seal showed the patron saint of Münster, St. Paul, in a Gothic arch. Halter at the time belonged to Münster. Since the late 15th the halter appears as canting arms. In a seal from 1486 the arms are shown with St. Sixtus as a supporter. The H. Pope Sixtus is the patron saint of the local church. All later seals and images show the halter as arms of the city.
 Seal from around 1900 |
