Official blazon

In Silber ein rotes Herz.

Origin/meaning

The arms probably date from the latter part of the last century. The village belonged to 1803 to Passau and there are no historical arms or seals known. The heart was in 1890 explained to symbolise the 'good hearts' of three local nobles, Jörg Watzmannsdorfer, Burkhard Puchberger and Ulrich Schätzl, who saved the village during a famine in 1459. During 7 months they distributed foods in front of the local church. It is unlikely though that the heart is taken from this story. The origin thus remains unknown.
