Official blazon

Unter grünem Wellenschildhaupt, aus dem linken Schildrand wachsend ein silberner Reiherkopf mit einem goldenen Fisch im Schnabel, in Silber schwebend ein blauer Amboss, begleitet von zwei blauen, aufrecht zugewendeten, unten durch goldene Schleifen verbundene Sensenblättern.

Origin/meaning

The arms were designed in 1932 and confirmed on January 12, 1994.

The upper part shows a stork holding a fish. These figures symbolise the fact that the town is a former fishing village. The lower half shows an anvil and two scythes, both symbolising the steel industry in the town.
