===Official blazon=== 
In gespaltenem Schild vorne in Rot ein halber silberner Adler am Spalt, im Fang ein goldenes Szepter haltend, hinten in Gold eine aus dem unteren Schildrand wachsende grüne Tanne, an deren Stamm ein rotes Eichhörnchen emporklettert.

===Origin/meaning===
The arms were officially granted on March 3, 1970 and again on December 16, 1973.

The village historically belonged to the Hauenstein District of the Austrian possessions in (the current) Baden. This is reflected in the arms, which show half the Imperial Austrian arms and the pine tree of the Hauenstein district. The eagle is shown not in the original, but in the Austrian colours. To the Hauenstein pine tree a small squirrel was added as a common animal in the area.

In 1906 the Baden State Archives proposed to use the Hauenstein pine tree as arms, but the municipality never adopted the proposal. In 1946 the municipality used a seal with a forest worker in his traditional clothes and holding an arrow and umbrella. This composition was never used as arms.
