Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on October 1, 1951.

The lower part of the arms symbolize the Luther-oak in the village, planted in 1833 and now a natural monument. It is symbolized by the oak leaves and the rose with the cross, taken from the arms of Martin Luther. The chief shows a staff, symbol of the Amt Brunstein court, which was situated in Langenholtensen.
