Official blazon

In Blau ein Sportsegelboot mit rot-silbernem Rumpf, silbernen Segeln und rotem Wimpel, in den Oberecken begleitet von einem linksgewendeten goldenen Ritterhelm mit geöffnetem Visier rechts und einer goldenen Weizenähre links.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on September 18, 1985.

The village historically was a typical farming community, which is symbolised by the wheat-ear. At present the main source of income is tourism, which is symbolised by the sailing ship. The helmet symbolises the Damp estate and the noble families living there.
