Origin/meaningThe arms were granted on December 20, 1979. The bend with the sword is a symbol for St. Martin, the patron saint of Wissmannsdorf. The three shields are a symbol for St. Luke, the patron saint of Hermersdorf, one of the other two villages in the municipality. The leaf in the lower left corner are canting for the third village, Koosbüsch. Its name is derived from the Latin casnus or oak.
