Object history
Deutsch: Das Wappen zeigt den bergischen Löwen und als Sinnbild der Lage am Rhein den Anker. Es ist seit dem 18. Jahrhundert in Gebrauch und geht zurück auf ein Siegel des Schöffenkollegs von 1555. Das Wappen wurde durch königliche Kabinettsorder am 22. Dezember 1817 erstmals genehmigt.
English: The arms were last granted on July 16, 1934. The town received its city rights in 1288 from Count Adolf von Berg. The seal used from that day showed a church, the contraseal showed a double-tailed lion, derived from the arms of Von Berg. In a 16th century seal the lion is shown for the first time with an anchor. Ever since, the seals and arms of the town have shown the lion and an anchor. The position of the anchor changed several times through the centuries, as did the colour. The anchor refers to the importance of shipping on the Rhine river. The present arms date from 1817. The additions of 1974 did not introduce any changes to the arms.
