Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on January 24, 1992.

The three horse-shoes symbolise the agricultural character of the village. They indicate the importance of horses for working the fields, as well as the local smithies, which produced these horse-shoes.The lower part shows two rosehip branches. They are a canting symbol for the name of the village. Although the name has a different origin, it was thought for a long time that it was derived from Hagebutte-village, or rosehip-village. As wild roses are very common in the region, it was decided to add the branches in the lower half of the shield. The green colour of he chief symbolises agriculture and nature, whereas the silver in the lower half symbolises the Wittensee (white-lake) in the municipality.
