Deutsch: Auf blauem Grund eine silberne (weiße) Eiche mit drei Ästen und je 8:7:8 Blättern sowie drei Wurzeläste. Im Schildfuß vorn und hinten je eine goldene (gelbe) Lilie. Das Wappen wurde am 24. April 1961 vom Regierungspräsidenten in Düsseldorf genehmigt. Als redendes Wappen spricht der silberne Baum in Blau (Marienfarben Blau-Weiß) den Namen der Gemeinde aus. Die Darstellung der Eiche nimmt Bezug auf den Baum (Trappenbaum), auf dem der Legende nach das wundertätige Marienbild gefunden wurde. Die goldenen Lilien sind dem Wappen der Herzogin von Kleve, Maria von Burgund, entnommen, die mit der Stiftung des Birgittenklosters 1430 den Wallfahrtsort Marienbaum begründete.
