„Argent, a pall reversed gules with branch forks at its ends, in the corners tilia leaves vert with stems gules.“
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; Bochold means "Buchholz or Buchenwald" - a forest with beeches. The pall reversed is used in former times with horses as part from a practive force; for example for coal minining.
