Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on July 27, 1998.

The municipality was created from 11 old municipalities, which are symbolised by the red parts of the bordure. As new common symbol the thistle was chosen, a typical plant on the local chalk-rich soils. The shield is divided to symbolise that the municipality is partly North and partly South of the Hörselberg, that is shown in the base of the shield.
