Origin/meaning
The municipality was granted arms in 1926.
These arms showed a divided shield, with the eagle of Friesland and the image of the local patron saint, St. Michael killing the dragon. As I have no image, any image is welcome !
In 1938 these arms were replaced by the above arms. The arms show historical weapons of the Frisians, a shield and three long spears. The spears had a special base, which was used to jump over ditches and streams.
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
