Deutsch: Die Hauptsatzung beschreibt, heraldisch nicht ganz korrekt, das Wappen wie folgt:„Das Wappen der Stadt zeigt in quergeteiltem Schild im oberen Feld in Silber (Weiß) einen nach rechts gewendeten, halben wachsenden, zweischwänzigen, blaugekrönten und blaubekrallten roten Löwen, im unteren Feld in Rot ein silbernes (weißes) Richtrad mit sechs Speichen.“ Die Blasonierung lautet:„Geteilt in Silber (Weiß) und Rot; oben ein wachsender zwiegeschwänzter blau gekrönter und bewehrter, roter Löwe und unten ein silbernes (weißes) sechsspeichiges Rad.“ Das Wappen zeigt den Bergischen Löwen und ein Richtrad, welches auf eine frühere Gerichtsstätte hindeutet. Es entstammt einem Siegel aus dem Jahre 1430. Erstmals genehmigt wurde es am 30. Dezember 1909 durch den preußischen Minister des Innern, allerdings mit einem fünfspeichigen Rad und einer damals üblichen Mauerkrone. Der Aachener Grafiker Walther Bergmann gestaltete das Wappen 1972 in der heutigen Form.
English: „Party per fess Argent and gules, a crowned and armed azure demi lion gules and below a six-spoked wheel Argent.“ The arms were officially first granted on December 30, 1909 with five spokes and a mural crown and last on October 3rd, 1972. Ratingen became a city in 1276 and the oldest seal dates from the same time. It shows a church with the lion of the counts, later dukes, of Berg. Later seals show the same image. In 1430 the present arms appear on the seal above the church. The wheel adverts to a former court in the town, the lion is still the lion of Berg.
