Origin/meaning

The arms were designed and granted in 1906.

The arms are based on the 19^th century seal of the municipality, which showed three pine trees. The trees are, according to legend, the three trees that had to be cut down, when an Austrian soldier built the local chapel in 1733/34. The officer, when he was in mortal danger, had promised to built the chapel when he was rescued.
