In Rot eine goldene Spitze, belegt mit einem gekrönten, roten Löwen, beiderseits aus der Spitze wachsend je ein goldenes Kreuz. Origin/meaning The arms were officially granted on June 15, 1953 and again on June 19, 1963. The arms show a lion, taken from the arms of the Counts of Saarbrücken, to whom the region belonged for many centuries. The two crosses symbolise the Wadgassen and Neumünster Abbeys, that had much influence in the village. The golden point is a canting element (Spitze=point) Contact and Support Contact Facebook Instagram Donate with Paypal Donate with WhyDonate eBay shop Rare heraldic book downloads Partners: Meijerink heraldic bookshop Webaldic heraldic identifying programme Nederlands Genootschap voor Heraldiek Armorial de France Homunculus / Heraldicum Disputationes De Raaf heraldic design Your logo here ?
