Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on January 28, 1911 and changed on January 7, 1972.

The arms from 1911

The new arms are identical to the arms of the former Amt Drolshagen and combine elements from the arms of Drolshagen city and Drolshagen-Land (the only two municipalities in the Amt). The black cross is the arms of the State of Köln, to which the area historically belonged.

The anchor and arrow in the old arms are the symbols of St. Clement, patron saint of the city. The church seals showed the saint with the cross and arrow, the seals of the city showed only the symbols. The black and silver are the colours of the State of Köln, to which the city historically belonged.
