Gornau Coat of Arms

Shield parted per fess embowed of Azure and Vert, a naked Goddess proper standing on a winged ball Argent on top of a globe issuant Azure, pouring red blossoms out of her cornucopia Or.
Meaning:
The pattern is known from local seals at least since 1917. It displays Fortuna, probably symbolising the pursuit of luck. As even the municipal webpage doesn´t give any background information, the meaning seems to be unknown.
