Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on May 12, 2004.

The goose in the upper half is taken from the arms of the noble family Gans Edle von Putlitz, which played a mayor role in the area for nearly 800 years.

The lower half shows an urn, symbolising the large archaeological discovery known as the Kö­nigsgrab von Seddin (Seddin royal grave), dating from around 800 BC. The linden leaves symbolise the many villages in the municipality, which are characterised by the presence of linden trees.
