The arms show quartered the arms of the Archdiocese in I and IV and the arms of the Archbishop in II and III. | |||
The personal arms are based on a medieval seal of the Chapter of the Diocese of Bremen. It showed Bishop Ansgar at the veneration of the enthroned Blessed Mother. The fleur-de-lys is a symbol of St. Mary, the crosier for Ansgar and the church for the cathedral church of Bremen. The fleur-de-lys also alludes to King Ludwig IX, the archbishop's namesake. | |||
The archbishop Averkamp had already used the motto "Dominus prope" ("The Lord is near") from the Philippians (4.5) as Bishop of Osnabrück. | |||
