„Gules, four houses Argent with their gables swept to the middle of the shield, timber framework and gate sable.“
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; Frillendorf means "Village for free people". The assembly of the houses and the resulting free area in the middle of the shield could be pointed as to arrows as sign for freedom.
