Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 30, 1952.

The arms show in the right half a fleur-de-lis. The symbol was derived from the old village sign, used on border stones. The use of a fleur-de-lis was first proposed in 1936, but no arms were granted at the time. The church (Kirche) in the left half is a canting symbol.
