Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on March 13, 1986.

The shield is divided to symbolise the two former villages, which were joined by the Aller river, which is shown in the base. The water-mill wheel refers to the many former water mills in the area. The two loaves of bread in the upper part refer to the fact that in the 16th century the villages had to pay taxes to the Stellfelde estate in the form of rye breads.
