Coat of arms

Description of coat of arms:
The shield is divided per pale. The dexter half shows a half black bull's head, crowned golden (= yellow) armed silver (=white) and tongued red in a golden (= yellow) field. The sinister half shows in a red field a bendy, golden (= yellow) crozier flanked by two silver (=white) fleur de lis.
Meaning:
The bull's head is symbolizing Mecklenburg, the crozier is alluding the Abbey of Neukloster, which had been part of Sweden from 1648 until 1806.
