Ennepetal was established in 1949 by connecting the municipalities of Voerde, Altenvoerde and Milspe. The bar and the golden colour are symbolizing the former rule of the counts of Mark. The wavy line is symbolizing the river Ennepe. The chevron is an image for the connection of the former municipalities.
