Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 21, 1992.
The windmill (Mühle) is a canting symbol. Mills (not windmills, but watermills) were of great importance for the community in historical times. Nevertheless a windmill was chosen as a symbol, to distinguish the arms from the arms of nearby Mölln. There is a single, Dutch-style, windmill in the municipality, so the symbol was not that strange. The sack is a symbol for the produce made with the mills. The barrel is a salt-barrel, as the village is on a historical salt trading route.
The lower part of the arms shows the Elbe-Lübeck canal, on which the village is situated.
