Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1984.
The arms show a rooster, which symbolises the local church, whereas the 10 fields symbolise the ten parts of the municipality. The rooster is also the symbol of St.Vitus, the local patron saint. St. Vitus is celebrated on June 15, which is also the Danish Valdemarsday, hence the colours of the rooster are the Danish colours. The blue and silver symbolise the melting glaciers (water and ice) that formed the landscape.
Literature : Achen, 1982
