Description
Deutsch: Wappen der ehemaligen Gemeinde Merheim seit 1914 Stadtteil von Köln: „Ein Rot-silbern (weiß) geschachter Schild, belegt mit oben angeschobenem blauem Turnierkragen, überdeckt von einer blauen Vierung, darin ein aus dem linken Rand wachsender, mit Sackärmeln golden-(gelb-)gekleideter Arm, einen goldenen (gelben) Ring haltend.“
Das Wappen wuirde 2003 im Auftrag des Geschichtsvereins Merheim vom Heraldiker Lothar Müller-Westhpal gestaltet. Es entstammt einem Siegel des Ritter Johann (von Löwenburg gen.) von Merheim (Legende S(igillum) Ionnis de Meyrhem Milit(is) von 1353. Der rot-silberne geschachte Schild ist das Wappen der Edelherren von Sponheim, der Turnierkragen das Beizeichen der jüngeren Linie derselben, die sich nach ihrem Sitz Löwenberg benennt. Dieses Wappen der Edelherren von Löwenberg des Stammes von Sponheim wird gemindert durch die aufgelegte Vierung mit dem Arm.
English: „Chequy gules and Argent; in the chief a label of six points azure, covered with a quarter, charged with an arm with a ring issuant Or out of the left border.“
The arms were ordered by the club devoted to the maintenance of local traditions and characteristics and were designed by Lothar Müller-Westphal, a well known heraldist. They are derived from a seal of the knight Johann (von Löwenburg gen.) von Merheim. The chequy shield is derived from the arms of the lords of Sponheim; the label is the sign of the younger line of the lords.
