„Per pale Or a fess gules charged with three pales Argent and gules in the upper half closed to the pale, a spindle Argent charged with reel Or, above a downwards twitching flash Or.“
The arms were devised in 1969 and show in the right half the arms of the Von der Recke family who owned large parts of the municipality in the Middle Ages. Left are a spindle as a symbol of the textile industry and a lightning as a symbol for the large power station in the municipality.
