In Silber ein durchgehendes schwarzes Tatzenkreuz, aufgelegt ein rotes Hirschgeweih Origin/meaning The arms were officially granted on Ictober 23, 1959. The deer antler is derived from the arms of the Lords of Hürnheim, who ruled the village since 1273. In 1750 the village was acquired by the knights of the Teutonic Order, and this is symbolised by the black cross of the Order. Literature: Information provided by the Ederheim council
