Isenburg rose
The Isenburger Rose, also known as the Isenberger Rose , was the coat of arms of Friedrich von Isenberg . This coat of arms was already accepted by his father, Arnold von Altena . As a common figure in heraldry , it was in the silver coat of arms a double-filled red rose with a golden lug . Friedrich's son Dietrich continued it in his branch line Isenberg-Limburg. In 1297 it was replaced by the now vacant coat of arms of the House of Limburg (Maas).
A blue tournament collar with three bars over the coat of arms was the sign of illegitimate birth for the Isenburg lineage.
The Blankenstein office takes local history into its coat of arms. It shows the overturned (upside-down) rose of Count Friedrich von Isenberg (Friedrich came from the family of Count von Berg) and the chess bar of the Brandenburg coat of arms, two silver alternating pinnacle bars, so divided several times in pinnacle cut, united in a red shield.
For the further whereabouts of the coat of arms see Limburg lion . In 1225 Count Heinrich replaced the coat of arms with the Limburg lion with a tournament collar and without a collar by Adolf VIII in 1308. Later it became the Bergische Löwe .
