Huje Siegel.png

The "coat of arms" of the municipality cannot be described heraldically and is therefore not a coat of arms in the traditional sense, but rather belongs to the category of pictorial seals. [3] It was chosen by the municipality after World War II in the absence of official seals free from Nazi and imperial symbols, and is still in use today.
