Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 8, 1983.

The chief shows part of the local traditional costume, see also Schrecksbach. The small shield shows the traditional arms of painters and artists. The village has been an artist village and also promotes itself like that touristically.

The composition is taken from a postcard from around 1900, see below. The same composition, notthe arms, are also used as postal cancellations.
