===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were officially granted on January 13, 1988. | |||
The upper half shows a black grouse, a typical bird for the area. The base refers to the forests in the municipality and the two leaves represent the villages of Wesendorf anf Westerholz. | |||
The arms replaced arms granted just two years earlier, see below. | |||
The previous arms were granted on September 8, 1986. | |||

The arms had basically the same design, but also had a small military cross. The cross referred to the large military camps of the German army in the village. | |||
However, the cross also symbolised for many people the Nazi regime and for the SPD (socialist) fraction in the municipal council this was unacceptable. After a long struggle, the arms were designed in 1984, the arms were granted in 1986. The cross, although also used by the Nazi regime, was established as a military decoration in 1813 and is being used until today. | |||
Still, the arms continued to cause political unrest and in 1988 the new arms were granted. | |||
