Description of coat of arms:
The shield is divided per bend sinister into silver(=white) with a green clover leaf and red with a silver(white) embattled tower having also a triangular roof.
Meaning:
According to source the arms are marshalling the arms of former municipalities of Südlohn(clover) and Oeding(tower). The existence of the clover leaf is proved on seals since 1784. The tower is the rest of a local castle in Oeding.
