Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on November 2, 1938.
The arms show a judge under a tree, holding a document and a golden staff. The arms refer to the medieval courtplace near the village of Breinum. As no historical seals or arms were known, this fact was chosen as a symbol in 1938. The realistic symbolism was typical of the heraldry of the time.
Literature : Barner, 1953
