Shield Argent with base wavy Azure charged with wavelets Argent, issuant from base an embattled tower Gules masoned Sable, on its top a sinister facing rising eagle Sable armed Or.
Meaning:
The arms show the tower of the local castle, the Prussian eagle and the Elbe River. The arms are based on a local seal in use until 1945. Its shield was parted per fess and displayed in the upper half the eagle (dexter facing) and in the lower half a tower on base wavy. The tower is symbolising the medieval tower, which is now completely destroyed. The eagle refers to the fact that the village is named after Prince Heinrich, son of King Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia, who bought the area in the 18th century. After 1945 the Prussian eagle was replaced by a fish in the seal. In the 1980s the village adopted arms, displaying only the tower issunt from base. In 1995 the eagle was added again.
