Meaning:
The colours are those of Schleswig-Holstein. The filaments are representing five streets crossing the municipality. The wheel is symbolising agriculture and traffic.
Both elements are taken from the municipal arms. The filaments are in the 2nd field. They are doubled within image. According to the Roll of Arms they should have been divided horizontally with one half of the netting in the upper and the other in the lower blue stripe.
