coat of arms

The blazon of the municipal coat of arms reads: "In yellow on a green hill, green leafy birch with a white trunk, surrounded by two red cranberry blossoms with black clusters and green leafy stems." Birches and cranberries are part of the typical flora of Besenbüren. The motif first appeared on the municipal seal in 1811, the shape was definitely determined in 1961. However, the coat of arms is heraldically incorrect: the hill is jagged instead of round, and the number of leaves on the stem of the cranberry blossom is not symmetrical (four would be correct instead of five). In 2002, the municipal council rejected the State Archives' proposal to slightly change the coat of arms.
