Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 20, 2004.

The wavy lines in the arms show the Jerrisbek river joining the Treene. This junction of rivers played an important role in the local history, as the Danish army got trapped between the rivers on August 12, 1410. In the following battle with the army of the Dukes of Schauenburg the Danes were defeated. The sword in the arms also refers to the battle. The water-mill wheel represents the village of Solelrup-Mühle, in which a water-mill was already mentioned in 1500. The base shows a chequered semi-circle, symbolising the important bridge over the Treene, for which a toll had to be paid. The green and gold colours symbolise the nature and agriculture in the municipality.
