Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on March 23, 1985.

The name of the village means nut-stream, which is symbolised by the wavy bend and the hazelnut branch, even though historically maybe a walnut was meant. The tower is the local bell tower.

The colours are those of the Lords of Reipoltskirchen, to whom the village historically belonged.
