Official blazon

Über grünem Dreiberg in Silber ein wurzelloser Heidestrauch mit schwarzen Stängeln und roten Blüten; im vorderen Obereck ein blaues Wagenrad, im hinteren ein linksgewendeter räderloser blauer Pflug.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 16, 1999.

The arms show a canting Erica plant (Heide is Erica sp.) on a small hill, which symbolises the landscape. The plough stands for the agricultural character of the village. The wheel symbolises the industry, but also the fact that many inhabitants commute every day.
