Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on January 24, 1995.

The first quarter shows a flower of the Arnika montana, used as a symbol for the former importance of gathering and cultivating medicinal plants and the production of essential oils. The flower was already used on the early 20th century seal of the village.

The two points symbolise the mountains in the area, and at the same time the points form the initial of the municipality. The left half shows the local linden tree, a typical landmark in the village.

Seal from around 1900
