Object history
Deutsch: Nachdem 1969 die bisherige Gemeinde zur Stadt erhoben worden war, genehmigte der Regierungspräsident in Münster am 20. Januar 1971 das Wappen des aufgelösten Amtes Gescher weiterzuführen, welches am 3. Januar 1936 durch den westfälischen Oberpräsidenten erstmals verliehen wurde. Das Wappen geht auf alte Jagdrechte, verliehen durch den Bischof von Münster, zurück. Auch die seit 1421 in Gescher ansässige einflussreiche Familie von der Beeke führte die Jagdhörner im Wappen.
English: The arms were granted 1971 and are identical to the arms of the former Amt Gescher, granted on January 3, 1936. The horns supposedly were granted to Gescher as village sign by Bishop Erpho of Münster, and are a symbol for the hunting rights of the villagers. More likely, the arms are derived from the arms of the Van der Becke family, who originated from the area and who used two horns in their arms. Their arms are known since 1421. In any case, the horns have been used as a village sign for a long time prior to the granting of the arms.
