Description of coat of arms:
The golden(=yellow) shield is divided per fess by a Markian chequered bar, the base is plain golden (=yellow), above the bar is a torso of St.Morris (German: Heiliger Mauritz, Latin: Mauritius) nimbed silver(=white) in blue clad armour holding a lance with a golden(=yellow) head in his right hand.
Meaning:
According to source St.Morris is the patron saint of the abbey of Fröndenberg. As a model for St.Morris had been used the statue of the saint standing in the dome of Magdeburg. The bar is symbolizing the counts of Mark, the former rulers.
