Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on November 25, 1937 (above right).

The arms are based on the oldest known seal of the village, dating from the middle of the 18^th century. The lion most likely is the lion of the Pfalz and Hupp showed the arms in the 19^th century in the colours of the Pfalz (above left). To avoid confusion with other similar arms, the arms were granted in 1937 in inverted colours.
