Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted in 1927.

As there were no historical seals or symbols for the village known, the council asked in 1927 for arms which would represent the agricultural character of the village. The State Archives proposed the above design with two scythes and a trefoil, which was adopted by the municipality.
