Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 29, 1965 and again on October 25, 1979.

The arms are canting, showing a star (Stern) above a rock (Fels). The arms are nearly identical to the arms of the Lords of Sternenfels who live in the local castle since 1232.

The composition first appeared for the village in a book from 1684, although with a six-pointed star.
