Official blazon

(de) Gespalten von Silber und Blau, vorn ein aus dem Schildrand wachsendes, allseitig anstoßendes, schwarzes Prankenhochkreuz, hinten auf der Plattform eines schwarz gefugten silbernen Zinnenturms mit einer Fensteröffnung ein silberner Storch mit schwarzer Flügeldecke und rotem Schnabel und Beinen, überhöht von zwei sechsstrahligen silbernen Sternen nebeneinander.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 10, 2008.

The cross refers to the fact that the village was a historical possession of the Teutonic Knights (1258-1809). The stork symbolises the fertile soil in the municipality. The tower refers to the former castle in Klieken and the two stars refer to the two villages.
