Gespalten von Gold und Blau, überdeckt mit zwei grindlos miteinander verbundenen Hörnern, von denen das vordere rot, das hintere golden tingiert ist.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 18, 1991.

The arms show a horn, a canting element. The horn is shown in an elongated form, making it also canting for the first part of the name (Lang=long). The colours are derived from the colours of the region Nordfriesland in which the municipality is situated.
