Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on December 2, 2002.

The willow in the upper part of the arms is a canting symbol. The name Selk is probably derived from selje=willow. The lower half shows a water mill wheel for the historical mill in the Mühlenbach (mill brook), which operated for centuries. The colours gold and blue are derived from the arms of Schleswig.
