Official blazon

In Gold drei schwarze Wachteln (2:1).

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 12, 1927.

The arms are canting, showing three quails (Wachteln). The arms are based on the arms of the local Lords of Druschel, who already used three birds on their arms in 1280. The birds later changed into the quails.
