coat of arms

Blazon : “In gold, a slanted blue wavy strip, accompanied: at the top by a red owl sitting on a black branch; at the bottom of a red urn with two handles profiled in the bulbous center. " The coat of arms and the flag were designed by the Schwerin heraldist Karl-Heinz Steinbruch . It was approved on March 2, 2001 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 238 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Justification for the coat of arms: In the coat of arms, the wavy bar symbolizes the Moosterbach flowing through the communal corridor. With the owl, the relation to nature conservation, in particular the importance of intact nature, as an economic factor - tourism - should be emphasized for the community. The urn refers to the numerous prehistoric and early historical excavation finds in the community hallway.
