Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
At the base of a golden (=yellow) shield is a red mountain having three peaks, it is superimposed by a golden (=yellow) plough share. On top of the central peak is a green, rooted linden tree.
Meaning:
According to source the tree reminds on an old vehmgericht, which had his seat at the old king's highway crossing the village. The plough share is symbolizing agriculture and the mountain is the symbolizing the location on top of a hill. Red and yellow had been the colours of the archbishopric of Münster.
