-The main item on the shield is a horse-break (Pferdebremse or Pferdebramme) a tool used to keep horses quiet, especially when they were shoed. The tool is taken from the arms of the medieval Lords Von H&ouml;tzum from the 14th century. The three houses are a canting symbol, the name was probably Hotz-heim, and heim means house. The three houses also refer to the fact that the village was burned and rebuilt three times, in 1388, 1605 and 1648.
