Official blazon

In Grün ein schräglinker silberner Wellenbalken, begleitet oben von einem silbernen Bohrturm, unten von einem achtspeichigen silbernen Wagenrad.

Origin/meaning

The arms show a silver wavy bend for the Ems river, that flows through the municipality. The green colour symbolises the agricultural character of the municipality. The oil pumping tower symbolises the oilfields in the municipality, which have been operational for over 40 years. The wheel also symbolises agriculture; the eight spokes symbolise the eight villages in the municipality.
