Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on November 15, 1995.
The stork refers to a nature and bird reserve in the municipality, the tower is the tower of the local castle, which was also seen in the historical seals of the village. The 8 linen leaves represent the 8 villages in the municipality. As there is a linden tree in nearly all villages, the linden leaf was chosen as an appropriate symbol.
