Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 10, 2002.

The crown in the chief of the arms is a canting element, Kronsgaard means Crown's Court. The cross in the lower half symbolises an ancient local custom in the village of Insel in the municipality. When someone in the village dies, this cross is hand over from house to house in the village to announce the iccasion. It is therefore also known as the 'Totenkreuz' (Cross of the dead). The blue symbolises the Baltic Sea, which historically was of importance to the village for fishing, but now mainly for tourism.
