Origin/meaning
The green hill and the two wavy pales refer to the -horst part of the name, which means here a dry hill in a marshy area. The Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm I (crown) drained the marshes by digging canals (the wavy pales again) and had the area settled by Dutch farmers. They became famous for their butter and founded a 'butter-and-cheese-school' in 1732 for the daughters of farmers in the region, hence the butter churn.
