Summary
| Coat of arms | Deutsch: Stadt Bergkamen English: City of Bergkamen Français : Ville de Bergkamen |
| Blazon | Deutsch: „In Gold (Gelb) sechs wabenförmig aneinander gestellte, aufrechte, abwechselnd silberne (weiße) und rote Sechsecke.“
Der Stadt Bergkamen ist mit Urkunde vom 01. September 1969 vom Innenminister des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen das Recht zur Führung eines Wappens, einer Flagge und eines Banners verliehen worden. Das Wappen entstand nach der Zusammenlegung von sechs ehemaligen Gemeinden im Bereich "Südkamen" welches die Sechsecke symbolisieren; gleichzeitig stellen sie die chemische Strukturformel für Benzol dar und weisen somit auf die chemische Industrie in der Stadt hin. Die Farben weisen auf die frühere Zugehörigkeit zur Grafschaft Mark hin. English: „Or, six aleovate upright hexagons Argent and gules.“
The arms were officially granted on September 1, 1969. The municipality was founded in 1966 after the merger of 6 municipalities. The name is derived from the ancient Bergkamen, of hamlets, in the area. The arms shows a structure of 6 benzene rings; the hexagonal structure symbolises the six former municipalities. The molecules as such symbolise the importance of the chemical industry in the city. The colours are derived from the arms of the County of the Mark, to which the area historically belonged. |
