The shield is divided per fess. Above in blue field are a golden (=yellow) 8-point star and below the star a horizontal arrow of the same colour pointing to the sinister side. Below in a red field is a silver (=white) inescutcheon superimposed by a golden (=yellow) escarbuncle having eight beams (only four visible).

According to source the lower half is symbolizing the dukes of Kleve, the upper half the patron saints of former municipality of Drevenack, St. Suitbertus, symbolized by a star, and that one of Hünxe, St. Stephen, symbolized by an arrow.
