Origin/meaning

The arms show the arms of the Lords of Neuenstein, who owned a castle in the municipality. To distinguish the arms it was decided in 1946 to add the basilisk of the arms of the district Laufen, to which the village belongs.

The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums 1914-1960

Literature: Wappenbuch des Kantons Bern, 1981.
