Auf grünen, mit einem silbernen Fausthandschuh belegten Boden ein grüner Laubbaum, belegt mit einem gestürzten Schwert und begleitet von zwei roten Rosen.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on November 16, 1961.
The tree is a linden tree and, together with the sword, refers to the old court being held in the village. The roses are taken from the arms of the Hallermund county, to which the village hoistorically belonged.
The glove symbolises the fact that in the 1960s the producten of leather gloves was of importance in the village.
