Description of coat of arms:
The shield is golden(=yellow). In its base is a pyramide of green and white squares (for cubes). Upon the upper square is a black eagle ready to fly.
Meaning:
According to source the pyramide is symbolizing the near by quarries of green dolomite. There had been three explanations for the existence of the eagle, but all turned out unsatisfactory in the end.
Expl.#1: The eagle is the eagle of Holy Roman Empire, because there existed a base of the Teutonic Order. The eagle however never had been symbol of the order.
Expl.#2: There should have been an mperial estate in Anröchte. Therefore there is no proof.
Expl.#3: The eagle is taken from the kin of Anröchte, a side branch of the counts of Arnsberg. But neither the use of that eagle is for sure nor the descent of the Anröchtes from the counts of Arnsberg.
