Coat of arms

Description of coat of arms:
The golden (= yellow) shield is divided by two black bars. The upper bar is superimposed by two golden (= yellow) heraldic roses, the lower bar by just one. The roses as a whole are ordered in an isosceles triangular constellation. The shield has a green, embattled chief.
Meaning:
The field withs bars and roses is taken from the arms of the Eickstedt kin, vassals of the dukes of Pomerania. They had a castle on the border with Brandenburg. The embattled chief is reminding to this important building, from which just one tower and the base have remained till today.
