Shield parted per bend sinister, above right Argent an aroowhead Azure in bend, beneath left Azure a heraldic rose Or.
Meaning:
The rose is an attribute of St. Mary, patron saint of the Augustine Oeren Nunnery. The rose already appeared on a seal of the nunnery. A report from 1570 mentions a local chapel, dedicated to St. Sebastian. The chapel existed at least since 1522, as a bell from that year was also mentioned. The arrowhead is an attribute of that saint.

Shield Gules a grain ear issuant Or; mantled Sable, at dexter charged with a tankard Or, at sinister with a wheel of the same.
Meaning:
Jug and wheel are stressing the economic importance of the depletion and workmanship of clay in the city and the surrounding villages. Clay had been depleted since the times of the Romans. The ear is representing agriculture, the other important local business line.
