Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
In the red shield is a white baton topped by a fleur de lis with two birds sitting below on a horizontal bar turning their heads to one another. In the centre of the dexter side is a white inescutcheon showing a red, rampant lion.
Meaning:
According to source the coat of arms is based on the seal of the Niederwesseling Estate (Freiheit Niederwesseling), known from the 14th century. The lion is symbolizing the Counts of Berg, the former rulers for many centuries. The other ensemble is an allegorical ancient Christian depiction, a so called 'tree-of-life' (Ewald). The origin however is not known.
