Official blazon
- (de) In Blau ein von silbernen Leisten begleiteter breiter grüner Schräglinksbalken, vorn oben eine aufgehende, ungebildete zwölfstrahlige goldene Sonne, im Balken ein linksgewendeter fliegender silberner Falke, hinten unten ein gestürzter silberner Fisch.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on February 9, 1994.
The oldest known seal of the municipality dates from 1928 and shows a flying falcon over a landscape with forest and a church. Later seals show a more canting design of a falcon over a lake (See).
In 1970 this design was made into a shield showing a falcon on a green (agricultural) field, with above the sky with the sun and below a lake with a carp. In 1994 this design was improved with two small silver bends, as green on blue is against the heraldic rule of colour.
