In a silver (=white) shield is a red, rampant, double queued lion, crowned, armed and tongued blue, holding a golden (= yellow) sinister-bendy key in his right fore paw.
Meaning:
According to source the lion is symbolizing the counts of Berg, the former rulers. The key is a distinguishing mark. This ensemble is known from seals since 1363.
