Meaning:
Oberland had been an ephemeral municipality, which was established on 23 March 1993 by a merger of Brattendorf, Merbelsrod, Poppenwind and Schwarzbach. The municipality was dissolved and became a part of Auengrund on 1 January 1996 together with the former municipalities of Crock and Wiedersbach. The line of partition is symbolising the hilly landscape, in which the municipality is located. The four hills and four linden leaves are symbolising the four villages in the municipality. In all four villages a linden tree stands on the main square.
