Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 8, 1994.

The linden tree in the first quarter is derived from the old village seal and symbolises the linden tree in the village, which is over 300 years old. The other three quarters are derived from the arms of the family Wolff von und zu Todenwarth, an important local family originating from the village of Todenwarth in the municipality. The wolf is a canting element for the family name.
