In Gold ein vierspeichiges rotes Mühlrad. Origin/meaningThe arms were designed and adopted in 1903. The oldest known seal of the village dates from the middle of the 18th century and shows a wheel. The wheel also appeared on the border stones of the municipality and in a later 19th century seal, where the wheel was place din a shield. In 1903 the State Archives proposed the above arms, based on the wheel, but now shown as a water mill wheel (addition of blades on the outside). The reason why the wheel was changed is not known. The colours are those of Baden. Contact and SupportPartners: Your logo here ?
