Official blazon
(de) In Rot zwei silberne, mit den Türmen zueinandergekehrte Kirchen; im Schildfuss eine goldene Rose.
Origin/meaning
The arms are based on the old parish seal, known since 1747. The two churches represent the two former parishes of St. Walpurgis and St. Martinus, which were originally separate, but during the late Middle Ages the two grew together and developed into a town. The towers show small guard towers, as already in 1340 town rights were granted, which were confirmed in 1666. The town needed some defense structures, but dit not have a wall, hence the small watch towers.
The rose represent the Luther rose, as the village is predominantly Lutheran.
