Description of coat of arms:
In a red field is a silver (=white) dragon puffing out two little clouds and being gored by a cross-topped golden (= yellow) lance.
Meaning:
According to source the arms are based upon the old arms of Rott, and show the symbol of St. Quirin, the patron saint of Rott, who, according to the legend, killed a dragon by a cross-topped lance.
