Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on June 24, 1994.
The arms are based on the seal of the village from the 1950s. The key already appeared as an element in the seal from the 1920s. The letter A refers to the name of the village, the crossed key and sword refer to the local patron saint, St. Peter and St. Paul. The colours and division of the shield are taken from the arms of the Diocese of Magdeburg, to which the area belonged in medieval times.
