Origin/meaning
The two birch leaves are a canting symbol, the name probably means birch-hills. The beehive is a symbol for the longtime tradition of apiculture in the region. The millstone is a symbol for the former water- and windmills in the area, needed to mill the buckwheat and rye that was cultivated in the municipality. The red and golden colours of the chief are also the colours of the Corvey Abbey, to which the area belonged since the 10th century, as well as of the diocese of Münster, to which the area belonged from the end of the 13th century until 1803.
