Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted in 1929 and show the small chapel on the Hutberg.

Previously the town used arms designed in the 18^th century when the village was founded by Waldenser refugees (also known as Herrnhütter). The old seal of the Waldenser movement showed the anvil and hammer.

Seal from around 1900

The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
