The arms already date from the late 15<sup>th</sup> century, as the oldest known seal (made between 1460 and 1499) already shows the present arms. The origin of the arms is not known, although the snake may be derived from a local legend. The legend states that the village was founded by a Duke of Schwaben, who, early in the morning, cleared the valley of thousands of snakes. | The arms already date from the late 15<sup>th</sup> century, as the oldest known seal (made between 1460 and 1499) already shows the present arms.

In the late 19<sup>th</sup> century the local seal showed a horseshoe under a star, but not in a shield. The present arms are again in use since around 1900 and were officially granted in 1955. | In the late 19<sup>th</sup> century the local seal showed a horseshoe under a star, but not in a shield.
