Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1907.
The arms show as the main symbol a kettle hook, which was probably the old village sign. It first appears on the main bell in the local church, dating from 1709. The symbol is also used in the 18th century on border stones. It is sometimes used in the village as the Greek letter omega, and would thus be derived from the first letter of the name of the town. There are no historical data to support this theory.
The oldest use as an official symbol dates from the seals of the village from the early 19th century. Even though the village had its own council as far back as the 13th century, there are no seals known. The seals show under the hook the star. The meaning or origin of the star is not known. During the last two centuries the star is often imisinterpreted as a flower, even in a 19th century seal.
As no colours were known, it was decided in 1907 to use the colours of the State of Speyer, to which the village belonged from the 13th century until 1803.
