Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
In golden (=yellow) field is a blue ash tree, growing out of a red, embattled base, which is superimposed by three golden (=yellow) balls.
Meaning:
According to source the ash tree is canting. The oldest form of the municipality's name is Ascasberg (engl.: mountain of ash trees). The balls are taken from the arms of the von Davensberg family.The blue colour of the ash is representing the former municipality of Herbern.
