Per bend or and gules, a bend per bend nebulée azure and argent (original (incorrect) blazon in file description was: Tierced per bend vair azure and Argent; Or and gules). Not tierced per bend, this is an actual bend.
The arms were drawn by Kurt Schweder who designed coats of arms for all districts of Essen in die 1980s; they were never official used, but meanwhile recognized by the citizens of Essen and its districts.

The arms are canting; the vair symbolise the meandering Emscher river. The arms is derived from the arms of the Lords of Dellwig, who owned a moated castle nearby Dortmund; they were related with the local nobles.
