Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on August 28, 1980.

The village never had its own seal, so the arms were newly designed in 1980. The bar and balls are taken from the arms of the medieval Lords of Wartenberg. The 17^th century seal of the Amt Wartenberg-Rohrbach also used the arms of the family, with an additional horn placed on the bar. The local council used however in the late 18^th century a seal with a man holding two clubs. The meaning of this seal is not known. One of the clubs is added to the left side of the arms, and crossed with a reed (Rohr) as a canting element.
