Origin/meaning
The oldest known seal of the village dates from the 1820s and shows in a crowned shield the letter S. The local council applied in 1900 for new arms. They preferred to have a hare in the arms, as the nickname of the villagers was Sandhasen (sand-hares). The State-Archives proposed several arms, but the council did not like the proposals. Finally the above arms were proposed, which symbolise the many oak forests that used to be in the area. The arms were adopted in July 1903.
