The arms are a combination of the arms of Ostfriesland (harpy) and the local castle. The harpy is originally the arms of the Cirksena family, counts of Ostfriesland.

In the 18<sup>th</sup> century it was used as the local courthouse. | The arms are a combination of the arms of Ostfriesland (harpy) and the local castle.
