Origin/meaningThe arms were granted on January 25, 1967. The arms were originally granted to the Amt Rindern, and later adopted by the municipality. The key is taken from the local seal dating from the 15th century. The seal showed the local patron saint St. Peter, with the key as his symbol. The cross is taken from the seal of the nearby village Düffelward. The seal showed St. Mauritius holding a shield with the cross. The meaning of the cross is not known.
