„Argent, above a triple mountain vert a continuous cross gules, charged with four bezants in ratio 1:2:1.“
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 triple mountain is canting "Stoppenberg" means a mountain with steps. The cross gules symbolises the chapter of nuns and the collegiate church of Saint Nicholas. The four bezants stand for the former municipalties of the "Bürgermeisterei" Stoppenberg.
