The upper part shows four silver balls, taken from the arms of the district, as well as a wheel. The four balls also symbolise the four former hamlets in the present municipality. The wheel is taken from the Lords Von Schoneveld, an important local family from the 13th and 14th century. The lower half shows a beehive, symbol for the (historical) importance of beekeeping in the area. The silver hills in the upper half symbolise the hills of the Wilsumer Hügelkette, a remnant of the last Ice Age, as well as the many small rivers in the municipality.
