Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on October 24, 1994.

The horizontal division in silver and blue is taken from the arms of the Lords of Schaumburg, who owned the area for a long period of time. The flax flower refers to the (formerly) important flax cultivation. The wavy bend is a canting element (Bach=brook, stream) and refers to the Itz and Krensenbach in the municipality.
