A detailed information about the coat of arms is given in this municipal website. Special thanks also to the staff, especially Mr. Ulrich Kestler.

The banner and the coat of arms were approved by Regierungspräsident Arnsberg on 10 July 1970. Already on 15 August 1911 a similar coat of arms with a mural crown, and probably in a French shield, was granted by the Prussian king.
