Shield parted per pale, at dexter Argent a demi-oak tree Vert with six acorns Or couped per pale, at sinister parted per fess, above Argent a stag passant Sable, beneath chequered of nine of Gules and Argent.
Meaning:
The first seal from 1525 displayed fir branches. The 17th century seal displayed two bushes above and a fir tree oblique. It is not mentioned whether it is bendy or sinister bendy. The stag is taken from the arms of the Lords of Clettenberg, former rulers until 1230. The chequered quarter is displaying the family arms of the Counts of Hohenstein, local rulers until 1593. The oak is symbolising rights of hunting of lower degree granted to the citizens.
Arms and flag were approved in 1953.
