Origin/meaning

The personal arms show an aspen tree, Espe in German and thus a canting element, also referring to the German ancestry of the bishop. The chief shows the arms of the Franciscan Order, to which the bishop belonged. The same design of the personal arms was also used by his brother Sylvester Joseph Espelage.
