In the base of the silver ( =white) shield is a green hill having three peaks. Above is a red demi-griffin issuant, armed and tongued golden (= yellow) holding a red lozenge between his claws.
Meaning:
The griffin is symbolising (Vor-)Pommern, the lozenge is taken from the arms of the Counts of Schwerin, intermittent rulers in the middle ages. The hill is symbolising the village of Heidberg.
