Official blazon

German	In Gold unter einer roten Schwälmer Haube, deren schwarze Haubenbänder auf beiden Seiten des Schildes nach unten fallen und in roten Dreiecken enden, in der Mitte des Schildes das Künstlerwappen (in Rot drei silberne Schilde 2: 1).
English	blazon wanted

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 8, 1983.

The chief shows part of the local traditional costume, see also Schrecksbach. The small shield shows the traditional arms of painters and artists. The village has been an artist village and also promotes itself like that touristically.

The composition is taken from a historical postcard, see below. The same composition, not the arms, are also used as postal cancellations.
