Origin/meaning
The old arms (below) were granted on August 3, 1939. The new arms (above) were designed after the merger in 1975.
The old arms are derived from the arms of the medieval Lords of Hörstel, known from the 14th century. As the historical colours were no longer known, the colours of Tecklenburg/Münster were chosen, as the town historically belonged to the State of Münster and the district of Tecklenburg.
The new arms combine elements of the arms of the former municipalities; the colours from Hörstel, the beaver from Bevergern, the oak leaf from Dreierwalde and the plough from Riesenbeck.
