Origin/meaning
The wavy base symbolises the Steinhude lake near the village. The bend symbolises the former important road through the village, the Schrägenweg. As the village developed around cleared forest, the tree trunk was added in the lower part of the arms. The upper part shows canting hawthorn leaves and flowers (Hagedorn). The colours are those of the Schaumburg-Lippe county, to which the village historically belonged.
