Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted in 1900.

The oldest known seal of the village dates from 1752 and shows an oval shield with the letters WB and a wavy bar. The letters are the initials of the village, the wavy bar a canting element (Bach=stream). A later 19th century seal shows a similar compposition. In 1900 the State Archives proposed the above arms, which are based on the old seals. The green colour was chosen as an additional canting element (Wiese=meadow).
