Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 30, 1938.
The arms show in the upper part a flying duck and in the base three chevrons.
The duck is a symbol for the former marshlands in the area and it is flying towards the sun, which symbolises the future. The municipality had applied for the use of a heron, but the Prussian State Archives decided for a duck.
The chevrons and the colours are taken from the arms of the Ravensberg County, to which the area historically belonged.
Literature: Meyer, 1940.
