Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1935.
The arms show a horse on a hill. The oldest and only known seal dates from the 19th century and shows a crowned letter G. In 1902 the village applied for arms, showing a hill with a small stable, horse and haystack. The State Archives proposed a more simple version, but it took until 1935 before the arms and colours were granted.
Literature: Huber, 1984
