Description of coat of arms:
In a golden (= yellow) shield is a black, rampant bear, armed and tongued red, wearing a golden (= yellow) collar with an oversized annulet of the same colour.
Meaning:
The bear is taken from the arms of the Attena kin, whose memebers had been the first chieftains of Dornum. Dornum had been a market town (Flecken) until 2001. It formed the comprehensive municipality of Dornum together with the market town of Nesse and the municipality of Dornumersiel from 2 August 1972 until 31 October 2001.
