Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 6, 2004.
The birch (Birke/Berke) are a canting element for Berkholz. Also Meye is derived from a local word for birch and the two branches thus represent the two former municipalities. The green colour refers to nature and agriculture. The chief symbolises two roofs and thus the merger of the two municipalities. The hill in the lower half is canting for the second half of Meyenburg (from Berg=hill) as well as symbolising the hilly landscape.
