Origin/meaning

The arms show in the right half the (alleged) arms of the last King of the Frisians, Radbo(u)d, who, according to legend, is buried in the local Rabbelsberg and will one day ascend to unite all Frisians again. The cross in the left half symbolises the local church, dating from the 13th century. The base symbolises agriculture.
