Object history
Deutsch: Das Wappen wurde am 21. August 1937 durch den Oberpräsidenten der preußischen Provinz Westfalen verliehen. Das Wappen basiert auf einem alten Siegel der Stadt, welches die Schutzpatronin, die heilige Gertrud, mit dem Wappenschild in der Hand darstellt. Bis 1332 gehörte Wattenscheid zum Herzogtum Kleve (Lilienhaspel) und danach zur Grafschaft Mark (Schachbalken).
English: The arms of Wattenscheid were granted on August 21, 1937. They are based on the oldest seal of the city. It dates from 1417 and shows the patron saint, St. Gertrudis (Gertrud), holding a shield with the present arms in her right hand. The arms show the escarbuncle of the Duchy of Cleves, and the fess chequy bar of the County of Mark. The area belonged to Cleves until 1332, when it became part of the Mark. Ever since the seals of the city used this composition. When the arms were officially granted the saint was removed. The local council at the time applied for the use of the supporter, but the state archives rejected this and finally the city agreed to use only the small shield as arms.
