The wind panel on top of the local church showed a hen instead of the more common rooster. The hen thus became a typical symbol for the village. The two crosses refer to the two churches in the village. The wheel in the base is the wheel of Osnabrück. As the hen was originally gilded, the golden colour was chosen. The red refers to the colour of the Niedersachsen State. | The wind panel on top of the local church showed a hen instead of the more common rooster.
