Official blazon

Unter dreimal eingebogenem goldenen Schildhaupt in Grün ein aufrechter, kurzer, oben und unten mit einem Knauf abschließender, in der Mitte sich verdickender goldener Stab, der mit seiner unteren Hälfte einen silbernen Wellenbalken überdeckt.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on September 7, 2001.

The main symbol in the arms is a kind of staff, locally known as the 'Mörserkeule', which symbolises the fact that the municipality used to be a place of a court.It is taken from the arms of the seal of the former Landscape (Landschaft) Stapelhorn. It is also the main symbol in the arms of Amt Stapelhorn. The same symbol can be seen in the arms of Süderstapel. The chief shows a sandy dune, the 'Twiebarg', a typical landmark of the village. The green symbolises the nature, the silver wavy bar the Treene river.
