Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 17, 1955.

The lower half The small shield shows the arms of the Lords of <a href=h/hanau|Hanau]]-Lichtenberg, to which the village historically belonged. The upper half shows a horse, symbolizing the long tradition of horse-breeding and horse-racing in the village. The green colour of the field is taken from the name of the village, which is derived from Winede, or place with meadows.
