Coat of arms of the municipality of Morsbach
The coat of arms shows in the upper field of the divided shield on a silver background a walking reddish-brown Bergisch lion with a blue crown, blue claws, and a blue tongue. It symbolizes the former affiliation to the Duchy of Berg.
In the lower field, on a medium blue background, a silver stream with black lines in the bends and three black cattails, each with two green leaves and a green stem, are depicted.
The cattails and the stream also point to a wetland biotope with swamp and moor areas and a stream, which probably used to be located in the valley of today's town hall and spa park and presumably gave the municipality its name "Morsbach".
