coat of arms
Blazon : "Under the red head of the shield, in it gold pliers, in gold a green band collar, topped with a red medlar with a golden lug." | |
Justification of the coat of arms: The patron saint is St. Apollonia , whose symbol, the pincers, is depicted in the head of the shield . The green inclined cross ( strip slant ) indicates the Roman roads that crossed southwest of the "Döhmberg". The early Roman settlement is also documented by important coin treasures. The red medlar with a golden clasp is taken from the coat of arms of the Duke of Arenberg . Betteldorf came to the Duchy of Arenberg after the death of the last Manderscheid count . The colors red and gold are borrowed from the coat of arms of the Counts of Manderscheid. |
