The arms were granted on May 7, 1984.

The beech in the arms symbolises the old historical name of the village as mentioned in 1430, Bocklo; Bock meaning beech. The waves in the base symbolise Lake Bokel (Bokeler See) as well as the rivers Forellenbek and Bokeler Au. The green hill characterises the agriculture in the municipality.
