Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 8, 1989.
The name of the village apparently means "Eschengegend" (ash land). For this reason, three sprigs of ash were included into the arms along with two Berghackeln (ceremonial axes, part of a miner's dress uniform). These symbolise the long tradition in mining of silver and arsenic in the area.
