Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on December 7, 1844.
The arms show a gravestone (grafzerk), making it a canting element. The arms are based on an image on a map dating from the 17th century. There is no other historical evidence for the arms and the meaning of the two deer antlers is unknown.
The arms in the Koffie Hag/Café Hag albums +/- 1930
Literature: Servais, 1955
