Official blazon
German	In Rot auf silbernem Dreiberg eine silberne von zwei silbernen Flügeln beseitete Linde.
English	blazon wanted

The arms were officially granted on November 30, 1962.

The linden tree and hill refer to the name of the village; the old name was Altenlinde ('old linden) and Hövel means a small hill.

The two wings and the colours are taken from the arms of the Von Melschede family, who originated from the village.
