Deutsch: „Die Stadt führt als Wappen einen zwiegeschwänzten blaugekrönten, -bewehrten und -bezungten steigenden roten Löwen in silber (weiß), der von einem schwarzen Wechselzinnenbalken überdeckt ist.“ Das neue Wappen der Stadt Leverkusen wurde am 19. August 1976 vom Kölner Regierungspräsidenten genehmigt. Am 15. November beschloß der Rat der Stadt, die Hauptsatzung zu ändern. Die Neufassung ist zum 1. Januar 1977 rechtskräftig geworden.

English: „Argent, an armed, langued and crowned azure, double-tailed lion rampant gules, charged with a fess embattled sable.“ Leverkusen was founded in 1930 after the merger of Wiesdorf with three surrounding municipalities. The new city was named after Karl Leverkus, who founded a paint factory in Wiesdorf. The new city received arms March 10, 1923, which are identical to the arms of Wiesdorf . After the merger in 1975 the city adopted new arms, showing the lion of Berg, as it was part of the old arms of all the municipalities, except Opladen. Opladen used the oldest arms of the counts of [Berg (state)
