Description of coat of arms:
In a silver ( =white) field is a green oak top by a red eagle armed golden.
Meaning:
The eagle is alluding to the margraves of Brandenburg, who founded the first settlement about 1250. The oak is canting. The name means "oak in the wood". The pattern is known from seals since 1307.
