Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on December 19, 1962.
The arms are canting and show a fox (German : Fuchs, local dialect : Voss) on a blue field with two golden points (Winkel=corner). The fox was also taken from the medieval family Von Vosswinkel, whereas the colours are taken from the arms of the Von Boeselager family, which also originated from the village.
Literature: Belke et al., 1986
