Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on December 2, 1991.
The oak leaf is a canting element, Eiche means oak. The main activity of the villagers for many centuries was pig farming. This is symbolised by the small acorns, which are a favourite food of pigs, as well as by the two small bells, which the pigs carried when they were herded in the area. The Tau cross is the symbol of the local patron saint, St. Anthony, whose symbol also is a pig.
