Summary edit
| Coat of arms | English: former district of Steinfurt Français : arrondissement ancien de Steinfurt |
||
| Blazon | Deutsch: „In Gold (Gelb) ein breiter roter Balken, belegt mit einem goldenen (gelben) Schild mit einem schwarz bewehrten roten Schwan.“
Das Wappen wurde am 26. Juni 1931 durch das preußische Staatsministerium verliehen. Der rote Balken in Gold entstammt dem Wappen des Hochstiftes Münster. Der Schwan ist das Wappen der Grafschaft Steinfurt. Die Symbole verdeutlichen die Herrschaften im Kreis. English: „Or, an expanded fess gules with an escutcheon Or within an armed sable swan gules.“
The arms were granted on June 26, 1931. The arms are a combination of the arms of the Lords of Steinfurt (swan) and the Bishops of Münster. The largest part of the county belonged to the bishops of Münster (Hochstift) until 1803, when the wordly possessions of the clergy in Germany were disbanded. The local jurisdiction was in the hands of the Lords of Steinfurt until 1421 and from 1421-1806 in the hands of the counts of Bentheim. The arms thus represent the local lords in the main territory of Münster. |
