Official blazon
Gespalten von Rot und Gold; vorne ein silberner Torturm mit Zwiebeldach und Laterne (barocke Haube), hinten ein steigender schwarzer Biber mit roter Zunge und geschupptem silbernen Schwanz
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on December 9, 1988.
The right half of the shield shows the local Schulturm tower, a typical landmark in the village. The left half shows a beaver, derived from the arms of the Lords of Bibra, who played a major role in the local history. The beaver (Biber) is a canting element.
