Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted on March 26, 1990.
The star is the symbol of the Knights of St. John, who received the village in loan from Duke Magnus von Braunschweig in 1373. The chief symbolises the former castle in the village, the base shows the Fuhse river.
The arms replaced previous arms, which were adopted on July 29, 1984.
These arms also showed the same elements in the chief and base, but as a main charge a tumbling stone, a prehistoric monolith found on a hill near the village.
Literature: Rabbow, 1977
