Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on February 17, 1954.

The deer (Hirsch) is a canting element, which was already used by the Lords of Hirschheid in the 14^th century. The family used the deer in combination with either a small mountain or a 8-pointed star. The municipality adopted the arms of the family in 1835 with the deer in natural colours. In 1954 the arms were formally granted with the deer in the original black colour. The original colours are known since the 16^th century for the arms of the family. Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
