Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on August 12, 1982.
The arms are based on the common seal of the two villages, known since 1596. The upper half showed a letter, probably a G, and two stars. These probably refer to the two villages and can also be seen as a symbol for justice.
The lower half refers to the Abbey of Klingenmünster, to which the area historically belonged.
Prior to 1982 the municipality used the same design, but the historical G was somehow changed into a letter S.
