Description of coat of arms:
The shield is divided per fess. Above is a red, statant lion armed, crowned and tongued blue in a silver(=white) field. Below in a blue field is a warrior dressed in silver(=white) armour and moving a silver(=white) axe with a golden(=yellow) shaft.
Meaning:
According to Ralf Hartemink's webpage the warrior is taken from a local seal of 1557. The lion is representing the counts and dukes of Berg, the former rulers.
