Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on January 19, 1961.

The village historically belonged to the Amt Gräfenstein of the Duchy of Baden. The arms thus show the bend of Baden with the broken wheel for St. Catherine, the local patron saint, and a crosier for the Herbitzheim Abbey, which had some possessions in the village.

Literature: Debus, 1988
