In Rot eine goldene Pflugschar zwischen zwei nach außen gekehrten silbernen Rebmessern mit schwarzem Griff.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on February 28, 1961.
The oldest seal of the village dates from 1495 and shows already a knife used for cutting grapes. Already at the time viticulture was of great importance for the local economy. In the 17th century the local court used a seal in which the knife was combined with a plough iron/spade, symbol for agriculture in general. Until the 19th century the local seals showed the knife and spade. In 1901 a shield was placed on the new town hall, which showed the spade flanked by two knifes, based on an older decoration from 1610. The arms thus were used already since 1610, but never appeared on the local seals.
In 1907 the State Archives proposed to use only the knife, based on the oldest seal. The council did not agree and wanted to keep the arms with the two knifes. In 1938 the combination (without shield) appeared on the new seal. In 1959 the Archives again proposed the old arms from the seal, but now the council applied for the use or continuation of the arms used unofficially since 1901. These were finally granted in 1961.
