Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on February 27, 1970.
The arms were granted in 1970, but have been in use since 1930. In 1919 the local council applied for arms at the State Archives. It took until 1930, but then the village decided on the use of the above arms. In 1951 the arms were corrected, as the wheel was partly shown over the symbols in the upper half. Again it took nearly 20 years before the council finally got the official approval of the use.
The oldest seal of the village dates from 1793, but it showed only the letters W. E. (see below); the W probably standing for Weiler (village), the E was already used in the 17th century as the local village symbol of borderstones. In a seal from 1829 the letters were EW, meaning Endersbach/Württemberg.
The above arms were designed in the 1920s by the State Archives and combine in the upper half the symbols for forestry and viticulture, with the wheel for industry in the lower half.
