The wheel is taken from the Lords Von Schoneveld, an important local family from the 13th and 14th century. The lower half shows a beehive, symbol for the (historical) importance of beekeeping in the area. The silver hills in the upper half symbolise the hills of the Wilsumer Hügelkette, a remnant of the last Ice Age, as well as the many small rivers in the municipality.
