Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on May 29, 1996.

The upper half of the arms shows the Prussian eagle, symbolising that two of the three villages in the municipality belonged to Preussen until 1945. The lower half shows three combined linden leaves, one for each of the three villages. Linden trees are very common in the area.
