Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 29, 1837.
The arms first appear on a seal from the early 19th century. The horseshoe is probably the village symbol. In 1768 Clemens Wenezclaus, Bishop of Augsburg summoned all villages to use a specific village sign for border stones etc. Why a horseshoe was chosen is not known. In 1837 the Bavarian colours were added to the horseshoe.
