Orenhofen Coat of Arms

Shield parted per bend sinister, above right Argent an aroowhead Azure in bend, beneath left Azure a heraldic rose Or.
Meaning:
The rose is an attribute of St. Mary, patron saint of the Augustine Oeren Nunnery. The rose already appeared on a seal of the nunnery. A report from 1570 mentions a local chapel, dedicated to St. Sebastian. The chapel existed at least since 1522, as a bell from that year was also mentioned. The arrowhead is an attribute of that saint.
