Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 6, 1967.
The arms show in the base a checquy part, which is derived from the arms of the Von Horhusen family, which owned several possessions in the village in early medieval times. In 1201 Beringer von Horhusen donates nine farms to the Marsberg convent. The crosier thus refers to the convent, which for many centuries owned a large part of the municipality.
Literature: Belke et al., 1986
