Coat of Arms

The shield is Gules with base Vert, charged with a barrulet wavy Argent, issuant from base a gate Argent with two pillars, the dexter one charged with a black logo, the sinister one with a heraldic rose Gules seeded Or and barbed Vert, between the pillars is a forged door Or. In chief is an inescutcheon Or semy of heartlets Gules and charged with a lion rampant Azure, armed and tongued Gules.
Meaning:
Though having no idea about the gate, the barrulet wavy is representing little Aller River. The inescutcheon is referring to the Welfen kin, the former rulers.
