Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The burning tree is canting; clearing the forests using fire is called Schwenden in the local dialect. The star is taken from the arms of the Thun district, to which the village belongs. The arms were devised and adopted in 1937.

Literature : Wappenbuch des Kantons Bern, 1981.
