coat of arms
Blazon : “In red a silver (white) castle with a wide four-storey central tower and blue roofs, on the top floor a silver (white) guard with a halberd, above a silver (white) eagle and two round side towers with pointed roofs; in the gate the silver (white) clad Emperor Charlemagne with a golden (yellow) orb, hair, golden (yellow) crown, on it a black cross, as well as with a silver (white) sword. "
Since 1926, the community that emerged from a settlement near Stromberg Castle, which grew out of Oberdorf and Unterdorf, has kept an image of the burgrave's seal attested in 1266. The colors are fictitious because they have not been handed down. The figure of the emperor is based on an old legend that the castle was one of his foundations; it belonged to the bishopric of Münster from 1177 and was the seat of an episcopal office. The coat of arms of the former titular town is still used in Stromberg on festive occasions.
economy
The furniture industry, handicrafts, agriculture and fruit growing are dominant, especially the Stromberger plum , which the EU gave the designation Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) in November 2013 .
