Rodewald - Coat of Arms

Coat of Arms

The coat of arms consists of an owl perched on a clerestory window aperture, surrounded by stone. The motive of the owl originates from a small stone owl which can be found in the spire Rodewald's main church, St Aegidien.

It was approved in 1960 as a symbol of the Mittlere Bauernschaft parish by the regional president of Hanover and in 1969 adopted to represent the village as a whole.

Famous quotes containing the words coat of, coat and/or arms:

    Commit a crime and the world is made of glass. Commit a crime, and it seems as if a coat of snow fell on the ground, such as reveals in the woods the track of every partridge and fox and squirrel and mole.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    There’s not a shirt and a half in all my company, and the half
    shirt is two napkins tacked together and thrown over the
    shoulders like a herald’s coat without sleeves.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If Heaven a draught of heavenly pleasure spare,
    One cordial in this melancholy vale,
    ‘T is when a youthful, loving, modest pair
    In other’s arms breathe out the tender tale,
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
