Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 18, 1993.

The upper part shows two tools to clear forest, these are a canting element (Roden is to clear forest). The base shows 8 diamonds or stones. These are derived from the local nickname for the villagers; the Sickeroder Wetzesteine (Stein is stone).
