In Blau ein freistehender goldener Zinnenturm aus Ziegeln mit offenem Tor, beiderseits begleitet von je einem goldenen Eschenblatt.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on September 3, 1965.

The arms are canting, Torn means tower in the local dialect, and Esch means ash, hence the arms show a tower and some ash leaves.

Literature : Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes; Reissmann, 1997.
