Origin/meaning

The strange figure in the arms is described as a plough-stick, which first appears in a seal known from 1751. The stick was already combined with the star. The origin of both symbols is not known.

In the early 19^th century the seal of the village showed the stick flipped horizontally and the star had disappeared. Later in the 19^th century the old combination was restored. The combination was proposed in the present colours by the State Archives in November 1900, and adopted by the council in January 1901.

Literature: Zier and Futterer, 1966; John et al., 1990.
