Official blazon

(de) In Blau mit einer eingeschweiften silbernen Spitze, darin acht (1:2:3:2) grüne Lindenblätter, vom ein links blickender silberner Storch mit rotem Schnabel und roten Beinen, hinten ein silberner sechseckiger Zinnen turm mit zwei pfahlweise angeordneten Fenstern.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 15, 1995.

The stork refers to a nature and bird reserve in the municipality, the tower is the tower of the local castle, which was also seen in the historical seals of the village. The 8 linen leaves represent the 8 villages in the municipality. As there is a linden tree in nearly all villages, the linden leaf was chosen as an appropriate symbol.
