Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on ?
The shield is divided in 8 parts, symbolising the 8 villages in the municipality. I have no information on the meaning of the wolf. The arms replaced the previous arms below.
The previous arms were granted on January 13, 1950.
The two crossed keys are the symbol of the Archdiocese of Bremen, as the Archbishops had a large influence in the area for many centuries. The lion is taken as a symbol for the Saxon King Heinrich der Löwen (Henry the lion), who granted market rights to the village in the 13th century. The red and gold of the chief are the colours of the State of Oldenburg, to which the area later belonged.
