Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on August 5, 1992.

The blue crown is the symbol of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, the local patron saint since 1938. The breadbasket refers to the tradition of the annual handing out of the Sebastianusbrot (bread of St. Sebastian) in the church.

The urn refers to the Roman grave hills, excavated between 1936-40. The green field refers to agriculture and nature, as well as the medieval estate-farm in the village.
