Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on August 14, 1937.

The arms are a combination of the two historical arms of the Lords of Jungingen. The arms with the scissors was used by the family on seals until 1355. from 1367 onwards the arms with the quartered fields appeared.

The village had no arms prior to 1937, but used since 1823 a seal with a quartered shield, most likely the arms of Hohenzollern (as the area was a possession of the Hohenzollern family) and not the arms of the Lords of Jungingen.
