Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 4, 1982.

The scythe and the battlements refer to the former Sensenstein Castle in the area of today's municipality, Sensenstein means scythe-fortress/stone making it a canting element.

The two three-leaf beech branches are the symbols for the municipality's location between the Kaufunger Forest Nature Park and the Münden Nature Park.

The wavy diagonal division line symbolises the Nieste river.
