In Silber ein schwarzer Schopf.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1901.

The arms show a shed (Schopf in German), a canting element. The shed already appeared on the 16^th century seal of the village. As no colours were known in the early 20^th century it was decided to use black and silver.
