Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on December 20, 1999.
The oak branch refers to the may oak forests in the region. The Iron Cross refers to the battle fought here against Napoleon in 1813. The lower half with swan and (canting) berries, is taken from the arms of the Von Berne (or Von Beeren) family, who had an estate in the village from the 14th until the 19th century.
