The municipality's arms might be described thus: Gules three bars wavy argent, in chief a dog's head of the second erased gorged sable, in base a sword of the second hilted and pommelled Or per bend sinister. The dog's head is a canting charge. Although the usual word for “dog” in German is Hund, there is also the word Rüde, and thus this dog's head refers to the noble family of Rüdt who once held sway here, and also for Rüdenau itself. The sword is a reference to the Rüdt family's jurisdiction with regards to the court over which they presided, and also to the place where the Thing was held.

Although difficult to measure at a time when most crime went unrecorded it is thought that crime in London had generally been reducing since the 1829 establishment of the Metropolitan Police. Despite this, in 1856 the British public regarded the streets of London as dangerous. A November speech by the Prime Minister Lord Palmerston announcing that Britons would feel safe to travel the world led to an editorial in the Times that stated "it is of far more moment to a Londoner that he should be able at all hours of the day or night to walk safely in the streets of London". The editor claimed that areas of the city were no-go areas for respectable people who were at "imminent danger of being throttled, robbed, and if not actually murdered, at least kicked and pommelled within an inch of his life".
