Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 3, 1997.

The lower half shows a castle wall, which symbolises the local Roseburg castle, dating from the 11th century. In 936 Queen Mathilde granted the village a bronze churchbell, which is the oldest existing bell in Germany. This is symbolised by the bell in the arms.
