In geteiltem Schild oben in Schwarz ein goldbewehrter und -gezungter und -gekrönter silberner Löwe, unten in Silber ein erhöhter grüner Dreiberg, belegt mit einer goldenen Krone.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on August 15, 1979.

The lion is taken from the arms of the Lords von Warsberg, who acquired the village in 1585. The base is canting, a crown (König=king) and a green hill (Au).
