Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on January 12, 1844, after the village was granted town rights in 1825.
The bordure in Prussian colours symbolises the fact that the area became a possession of Prussia in 1814, only few Prussian towns were allowed to use the bordure. The wheel is taken from the arms of the Bishops of Osnabrück, who owned the area until 1565. The main green colour stands for agriculture, the waves symbolise the Dalke, Wapel and Ems rivers.
 Seal from around 1900 |
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
