German | Ein blauer, in der Mitte von einem silbernen Fluss quer durchzogener Schild. Oberhalb des Flusses erscheint abgeledigt eine weißgetünchte zweifenstrige Kirche, an die rechts ein Eingangsvorbau und links ein niedriger Turm mit Satteldach und zwei Kreuzen auf der Giebellinie angebaut sind. Der Turm weist übereinander zwei Fenster auf, von denen das untere das Ausmaß einer Luke hat. Turm, Kirchenschiff und Eingangsvorbau sind rot gedeckt. Unterhalb des Flusses ist ein natürlicher Eichenzweig mit einem Blatte zwischen zwei Eicheln zu sehen. |
English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on February 20, 1929.
The church in the arms is the local St. Nicholas chapel, already mentioned in 1403. It also refers to the fact that the village only had this chapel for many centuries, but was not its own parish.
The silver bar refers to the Ach river. The oak is a canting element, the name Alt-Ach can be translated as Old-oak. The branch is also taken from the arms of the locally important Sandholz family.
