Official blazon

Schild geteilt, oben gespalten; oben vorne in Grün eine silberne Windmühle, hinten in Silber ein schwarzes Balkenkreuz, belegt mit zwei schräggekreuzten Glevestäben, wobei die Stäbe gold, die Lilien rot sind; unten in Rot ein schräglinker, silberner Bischofsstab, belegt mit einem liegenden rückwärtssehenden silbernen Wolf.

Origin/meaning

The arms show in the first quarter a windmill, as there used to be a windmill in the village. The black cros sin the second quarter refers to the [{State of Köln]], to which the area historically belonged. The sceptres are taken from the seal of Johann von Husener, who lived as a representative of the Emperor in the village in the 15th century.

The lower half symbolises with the wolf and staff the local patron saint, St. Remaclus.
