Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on January 25, 1971.
The arms show the historical local village symbol. The meaning of the symbol is not really known. It has been speculated that it is derived from the attributes of St, Michael (spear and cross on a long pole), the local patron saint, but this has never been proven.
The oldest use of the symbol dates from the early 18th century. The symbol appears on a stone on the gate in the local cemetery next to the arms of Baden and the date 1743. In this case the symbol is pointed downwards, see below.

 Seal of Christoph Frommel |
 Seal from 1811 |
In 1901 the State Archives of Baden proposed arms based on the seal of the municipality, but as the seal was not clear, the proposal showed a kind of measuring device based on a triangle and a plumb-bob or plummet. This proposal was never adopted by the municipality.
 Seal from 1901 |
