Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 16, 1954.

The arms are canting, the name means rose-stream or rose-river. The colours are derived from the colours of the Von Padberg family and the Bredelar Abbey, who historically owned many possessions in the village.

Literature : Belke et al., 1986
