	Blazon : “Divided by a wave cut from gold over blue; above a growing black, red-armored lion, below two silver stag poles, enclosing a golden cross. "
	Justification of the coat of arms: The lion in the upper part of the coat of arms refers to the former sovereigns, the noble lords of Blankenheim.
