The arms were officially granted on December 4, 2008.

The frog is a canting element, as the name can be translated from early Slavonic as 'frog-eaters', which probably refers to the many herons and storks in the area.

The old seal of the village, used until the 1950s, shows a shield with three spades. This element was not taken into the new arms.
