Description of coat of arms:
In a blue shield are two golden (= yellow) churches connected by a gate lodge of the same colour. The tower on the dexter side has a steeple, that one on the sinister side a bulbous spire. All the three elements have closed blue gates and blue windows. They are all crowned by golden (= yellow) weathercocks. In the middle above the gate lodge are (ordered vertically from top to bottom) a coronet, a horizontal sceptre and a chest, all elements are golden (=yellow).
Meaning:
According to source the churches are the local churches of the Protestants and the Catholics. The other elements are ensigns of the local guilds.

According to §1(2) of Hauptsatzung of the city of Mettmann version 7 October 2010, just the "colours", not a flag is mentioned. The description there matches that one given in
Stadler 1972.
