Origin/meaning

The arms were not used by the municipality, but designed after the merger in 2003.

The golden point is taken from the compass in the arms of Schönefeld and also refers to the fact that the former municipality forms a point into the area of Berlin. Historically the area was rural and agricultiral. This is shown by the green field, the willow tree and the wheat ears. The golden point refers to the sandy soils. The two wheatears also refer to the two villages in the former municipality.
