Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 12, 1997.

The arms reflect the history of the village. To protect the sheep in the area a large wooden fence was erected in the 16th century. Around this fence several villages developed, Friedrichswalde being one of these. The new settlers can from the Pfalz region and introduced the craft of wooden shoe making to the area, for which the village is still famous. The arms thus show a fence and a wooden shoe in the colours of the Pfalz region.
