Origin/meaning

The upper right arms were officially granted on July 2, 1969.

The arms are derived from the oldest known seal of the municipality, dating from the 18^th century.

The origin or meaning of the tree with the birds is not known. It may be that it simply indicates the forests in the area, or that the tree is a symbol for the horticulture (especially apples) in the municipality.

In 1956 the arms below were proposed, based on the same seal:
