Coat of arms of the municipality of Gronau
 Blazon : "In the red shield a golden diagonal right ladder with three vertical rungs."
Justification of the coat of arms: This coat of arms, which has been documented since the beginning of the 18th century (first documented in 1705), was changed in the last quarter of the 19th century in an ugly and meaningless way: shield divided diagonally by red and green and topped with a silver diagonal ladder to the right. When this change of the city and coat of arms colors was made cannot be seen from the files and council minutes of the city, and it has never been recognized in higher places. After hearing the city councilors and councilors, the mayor decided on March 20, 1940 to return to the old city colors of red and gold and to the coat of arms in this tinging.
