Banner and coat of arms were approved by Regierungsprräsident Düsseldorf on 8 April 1971. The coat of arms including a mural crown had been already granted by the Prussian king in 1909. In 1957 the pattern was confirmed by minister of interior of Northrhine-Westphalia, but the mural crown then was abolished.
