The council first applied for arms in 1949, and two designs were made. As there were no older arms or seals available, a new composition had to be designed. The first proposal showed a skylark above a black bend. These symbols were derived from the arms of the Syrgen von Syrgenstein family, who played a major role in the local history. The second proposal showed a mounted man, dressed as a 17<sup>th</sup> century governor, or Landvogt. The rider thus was a canting symbol. The council choose the latter proposal, which was granted in 1951. | The council first applied for arms in 1949, and two designs were made.
