Summary

Coat of arms

Deutsch: Stadt Bad Honnef

English: City of Bad Honnef

Français : Ville de Bad Honnef

Blazon

Deutsch: „Von Silber (Weiß) und Rot 30mal geschacht, in der oberen Hälfte belegt mit einem durchgehenden, fünflätzigen blauen Turnierkragen.“ Das Wappen ist das ehemalige Schild der Grafen von Sponheim-Heinsberg als Erinnerung an die mittelalterliche Herrschaft Löwenburg, deren Hauptort Bad Honnef war. Das geschachte Feld geht auf ein Schöffensiegel von 1374 zurück.

English: „The town became a city only in 1862 and the prefix Bad was granted in 1960. The arms are based on the arms of the Counts of Sponheim-Blankenburg, who owned the district Löwenberg, of which Honnef was a major city. The shield is also seen on the seal of Honnef, dating from 1374. It is placed next to the patron saint, St. John Baptist. In a later seal the saint is placed behindthe shield.“
