Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on March 4, 2005.

The wavy bend in the arms symbolises the Lauter river in the municipality. The beech branch refers to the forests and the Hainich National park in which the village is situated. The pump is the village pump, the so-called Sunday Pump. This name is derived from the plague epidemy in 1635 and every Sunday the villagers gathered around the pump to see who was still alive.
