===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were officially designed and adopted in 1907. | |||
The arms are based on the (only) known seal of the village, hanging on a document from December 3, 1687. The seal already showed the three fish and the two oars. | |||
The fish are probably salmon, as salmon fishing in the Rhine and Elz has been of great importance for the village. Already in 1442 a fishermen's guild was founded, which existed until the late 18th century. Fishing remained the most important economic activity until the middle of the 19th century. | |||
The colours were chosen arbitrarily, as no historical colours were known, but are the colours of the [[Baden (State)|State of Baden]] and were designed by the State Archives of Baden in 1907. | |||
[[ | The triple fish has also been used for centuries as a symbol for the Holy Trinity, see f.e. [[:Category:Triple fish|here]]. | ||
