Von Gold und Rot schrägrechts geteilt, farbverwechselt in jedem Feld ein Mühlrad und bogenförmig aus dem Vordereck ein Ackergelbstern vorwärts und aus dem Schildfuß hinten ein Hundszahn rückwärts wachsend.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on May 5, 1997.

The arms refer to social history: The line of partition is taken from the arms of the von Kraig family, medieval landowners in the region. Two mill-wheels honour the historically important mills in the valley of the river Raab.

The two flowers in the arms are plants that can be found on arable land, Ackergelbstern (English name unknown) and Dogtooth violet.
