The arms were granted on October 25, 1948.
The church in the arms symbolises the Sigeburg, built by Emperor Lothar
in the 12th century after the completion of Christening of the area. The
leaves are taken from the arms of the oldest Lords of Segeberg. The small
shield shows the arms of the Counts of Schauenburg-Holstein who ruled the
area from 1273-1316.
