Gnoien Coat of Arms

The shield is divided per pale. The dexter side shows in a golden (= yellow) field a half, black bull's head armed silver (= white) and crowned golden (= yellow). The sinister side shows in a blue field a half silver (= white) fleur de lis with a clover stem of the same colour coming out of the flower. In the new version both sides were exchanged.
Meaning:
The bull's head is taken from the arms of Mecklenburg or they are alluding to the Lordship of Werle-Güstrow.
