Official blazon

In Silber eine grüne Lilie in der Toröffnung einer durchgehenden, oben anstoßenden schwarzgefugten roten Mauer auf mit einer gebogenen silbernen Leiste belegtem gewölbten grünen Schildfuß.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 2006.

The arms show a typical gate in the farms of the region, which are rather high and large. The fleur-de-lis symbolizes that fact that orchids are very common in the municipality. The base indicates the relatively high position of the village on a hill.
