Description of coat of arms:
The coat is divided by a blue fess into golden (=yellow) and silver (=white). The fess is superimposed by three golden 6-point stars. The silver field is divided by two red bends formed by rhombs (German: Rautenbalken).
Meaning:
According to source the golden colour is symbolizing the archbishops of Münster, the former rulers. The stars upon a fess are taken from the seal of Johann von Legden, the bends from the arms of the Asbeck kin, who was living in the village with the same name.
