Description of coat of arms:
In a silver(=white) shield is a red embattled wall topped by three towers with triangular roofs. Between the towers are two golden(=yellow) Latin crosses stuck upon red poles. In the open gate is St.James dressed blue. In one hand he holds a red model of a church, in the other hand a golden(=yellow) stick with a bottle of the same colour.
Meaning:
According to source the arms show the image of a 14th century seal. The unknown colours had been chosen arbitrarily.

Description of plain flag:
The flags ratio is 3:5. It is a blue over white horizontal bicolour.
(editorial note: as Veddeler doesn't mention this plain flag, this one seems to be really doubtful)
