Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on April 2, 1957.

Until 1956 the village used only the arms of Baden-Württemberg on its seals. The newly designed arms show three cherries, as the region is known for the cultivation of cherries, and the village has a yearly cherry festival. The wavy bar is canting (Bach =brook, stream).
