Coat of arms

Deutsch: Stadt Rheine

English: municipality of Rheine

Français : commune de Rheine

Blazon

Deutsch: „In Gold (Gelb) ein mit drei sechsstrahligen goldenen (gelben) Sternen belegter roter Balken.“
Das Stadtwappen ist abgeleitet vom Landeswappen des Hochstiftes Münster. Die dem Wappen hinzugefügten drei Sterne sind Symbole für den heiligen Dionysius als Patron der ersten Kirche und somit Schutzheiligen der Stadt sowie dessen zwei engen Vertrauten Rusticus und Eleutherius.

English: „Or, a fess gules with three six rays stars Or.“
Rheine received city rights in 1327 from the Bishop of Münster, Ludwig II of Hessen. The oldest known seal dates from the middle of the 14th century and shows St. Paul as supporter behind two shields, the above arms and the arms of Münster. The latter was later removed. The arms of the city are also derived from the arms of Münster. Initially only the stars were added to distinguish the two arms. In the 17th century the colours were changed to silver-red-gold (from gold-red-silver), in the early 18th century to the present gold-red-gold.
