The coat of arms of Wipperfürth

The arms were granted on 9 December 1975 but were in use a long time before. Wipperfürth received city rights between 1217 and 1222.

In the 14th century the small shield was removed. The present arms are based and nearly identical to the composition of the first seal. The city wall denotes the civic character of Wippenfürth, the church is the local St. Nicholas church.
