Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on October 15, 1965.

The lion is taken from the arms of the medieval Lords of Wierbach, who had their castle in the village. The blue and red colours are derived from the arms of Oldenburg, as the area belonged to Oldenburg for a long period of time.

The wavy silver bend is a canting symbol for the -bach part of the name (Bach means river). The leaf is a leaf of he Common hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), Hainbuche in German, as the village is known in the area as Hambiiche.


Literature: Heyen und Zimmer, 1966
