Shield parted per pale, at dexter Vert an eradicated oak Argent, at sinister Or a minuscule "n" Sable topped by a crosslet patty of the same.
Meaning:
Roden was first mentioned in 1348. The name is referring to forest clearance, represented in the arms by the oak. The clearance was caused by the Dominican Neustadt Nunnery, symbolised by minuscule and crosslet, the cypher of the nunnery, to which the area belonged until 1803.
