Deutsch: „In Rot ein goldener (gelber) Reichsapfel mit aufgesetztem goldenen (gelben) Kreuz, dessen Schaft von einem goldenen (gelben) Buchstaben „M“ überzogen ist.“
Das Wappen ist abgeleitet von einem Siegel von 1631 ohne die Inschrift des Reichsapfels. Es stammt vom
Stift Metelen, welches König Arnulf 889 gründete. Die Farben, sind die des
Hochstiftes Münster.
English: „Gules, a globus cruciger Or with a "M" upon the shaft of the cross.“
Metelen developed around the Convent founded in 889 by King Arnulf. The oldest seal of the village dates from 1631 and showed an orb, with the text Arnulphus Caesar, referring to King Arnulf, and a letter M. The convent also had imperial freedom, which could also be symbolised by the orb. The present arms, which were based on the old seal were granted in 1964. Only the text was removed and the colours were based on the colours of the diocese Münster.
