Origin/meaning

The municipality was part of Sasbach until the early 19th century. The oldest seal thus dates from the early 19th century and shows the letters SW under a crown. When in 1904 the municipality wanted its own arms, the State Archives proposed arms with a silver mountain, on which a pine tree grew; around the trunk of the tree a golden crown.

The municipality, however proposed rather different arms, showing a landscape with ruin of the local Brigitteschloss (castle). The municipality used these arms in its seal from 1905 until 1949. These arms were, however, never granted.

The seal of 1905-1955

In 1949 the State Archives again proposed to change the arms, a procedure that lasted until 1955 when the present arms were adopted. The arms now show the viticulture as important economic factor and the many forests in the municipality.
