In Blau ein goldenes Krückenkreuz, unten belegt von einer silbernen Klammer mit Krückenfortsätzen nach oben.

Origin/meaning

The municipality used in the 19th century a seal with the symbol shown in the arms, but at the time not in a shield. The arms were proposed and adopted in 1900 in the colours above.

The symbol is most likely a village symbol, without any further meaning. The colours are arbitrarily chosen.
