Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1951 and are canting (deer = Hirsch). The village never had its own seals, but a deer's head as a symbol for the village is known since 1502. In that year it appears in a decoration in the local church. The head later appears in many different decorations in the village, often combined with the striped lion of Hessen.
