Hemer received town rights in 1975 when it was merged with several surrounding communes from the former Amt Hemer. Both the Amt and the commune were granted arms in 1936. After the merger the new town adopted the arms of the Amt. (...)

The new town tried to adopt the flag of the former commune Hemer —with the arms replaced— but this proposal was turned down by the state archives in Münster. The flag and banner that were finally adopted in 1976 were black-yellow with the arms.
