Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on September 24, 1951.

The arms are a combination of the arms of the families Von Plesse and Von Amelunxen. The village was first mentioned in 1333 as a loan to Diedrich von Bodenhusen from the Lords of Plesse. From 1597 until the 19^th century the village was owned by the Von Amelunxen family.
