Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The municipality of Merscheid was founded in 1808, received city rights in 1856 and was renamed Ohligs in 1891. Ohligs developed around the railway lines and a symbol for the railways should thus be included. The original design showed three fields, the winged wheel for the railway, the red lion of the Counts of Berg, who ruled the area for centuries, and some small stars, indicating that the city developed from many different villages and hamlets. In the final design the lion was removed and only the wheel and stars remained.
Deutsch: "Das Ohligser Stadtwappen zeigt im linken Feld einen senkrecht stehenden gespaltenen gotischen Schild mit sieben Silbersternen auf blauem Grund und rechts ein schwarzes Flügelrad auf goldenem Grund. Der obere Rand trägt eine dreitürmige Mauerkrone mit einem Tor in der Mitte, die Ohligs als Kleinstadt ausweist.“ Die Silbersterne repräsentieren die Vielzahl der Höfe, aus denen die Stadt hervorgegangen ist. Das Flügelrad symbolisiert Eisenbahn und Geschäftsverkehr.
