Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 30, 1962.

The linden tree and hill refer to the name of the village; the old name was Altenlinde ('old linden) and Hövel means a small hill.

The two wings and the colours are taken from the arms of the Von Melschede family, who originated from the village.
