Description of coat of arms:
In a golden (= yellow) field is a black, rampant lion, armed and tongued red. The lion is superimposed by a red label with four flaps.
Meaning:
According to source the arms are those of the counts of Blankenheim. These arms appear already on the first seal from 1380. The shield is held by St. Margartha and St. George. The arms remained more or less the same since the 14th century.
