In dem vor Silber über Blau geteilten Schilde oben ein schrägstehender, roter Armbrustschaft. Unten eine Zuckerrübe mit grünen Blättern.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on October 2, 1956.
The upper half of the arms is derived from the arms of the medieval Lords von Bennigsen, who had their estate in the village from 1311 onwards.
The sugarbeet is a symbol for the importance of sugar cultivation.
