Shield parted per fess, above Or a demi lion issuant Sable, armed and tongued Gules, beneath Sable three annulets Or ordered 2:1.
Meaning:
The upper half is a differentiation of the family arms of the Dukes of Jülich, which displayed a complete lion rampant. The dukes ruled the biggest part of the current municipality. The lower half with the annulets (German:Ringe) is canting, alluding to the former Ringen Subcounty (German:Amt), which was transformed to an associative municipality (German: Verbandsgemeinde) at the end of the 20th century.
