Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 2, 1995.

The arms symbolise the position of the village near the Nuthe and Elbe rivers by the wavy division line and the pale. The tower is the local historical (over 1000 years old) watchtower, a typical symbol for the village. The colours refer to water and agriculture.
