The hand is taken from the arms of the Lure Abbey, which ruled the village until 1555, when it merged with the Murbach Abbey. The village belonged to the Murbach Abbey until 1793. The dog is taken from the arms of the Murbach Abbey.

The municipality has the right to use the Cross 1914-1918 around the shield, which was awarded in 1921.
