Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on ??-??-19??, the previous arms (see below) were granted on ??-??-19??.

The arms show Hinter Aa, a small river. The previous arms showed the two castles which stood in Hinte in the 12-13th centuries. The Westerburg was destroyed in 1436, the Osterburg still exists. In the present arms only one castle, as the center of the new municipality is shown.
