Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1991.

The red-silver-blue field in the upper part of the arms is derived from the arms of the Von Schaumburg family, an important family in the local history. The silver and blue bend symbolises the railway line which played a role in the local development. The base shows a fork and comb, taken from the arms of the Counts of Schwarzburg, who ruled the village until 1920.
