Meaning:
According to source the tower is the main tower of Raesfeld castle, rebuilt by count Alexander of Velen in 17th century. The squirrels are taken from the arms of former municipality of Erle, which had been the arms of died out kin of von Erle called Ichorne (German: Eichhorn = squirrel). The merlettes in the former arms of Raesfeld are taken from the arms of the counts of Velen.
