Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 5, 2003.
The wheel refers to the 12 original settlers from the 14th century on the area of a drained marshland. They moved in with carriages and wagons, which is symbolised by the wheel.
The plant is a Hairy Vetch (or Fodder vetch, Vicia villosa), a common plant in the area, which historically was used as cattle feed. In the local dialect they are called Gerkeln and it is speculated that the name Jerchel is derived therefrom.
