Official blazon

(de) Gespalten von Silber und Grün; darin ein bewurzelter Baumstumpf in verwechselten Farben mit zwei grünen Eichenblättern.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on January 10, 1996.

The oak trunk is taken from the old seal of the village. The tree probably refers to the fact that the village developed by clearing parts of the large oak forests in the area.
