Shield parted by a barrulet wavy Azure; above Argent a plough Vert; beneath Or an eagle´s head Sable, crowned, armed and tongued Or and flanked by two grain ears Vert.
Meaning:
Plough and ears are referring to the rural character. The eagle´s head is taken from the arms of the local Schütz family. The barrulet wavy is a representation of the name giving creek.
