Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 3, 1996.
The two salt-hooks in the upper half are derived from the arms of the Bernd family, one of the most famous of the families that ran the salt mines in the area for many centuries. Saltmining has been of great importance for the local economy.
The base shows the Sülze river and a sea- or salt-aster (Aster tripolium, now Tripolium pannonicum), a typical salt-loving plant in the area and symbol for many such plants around the village.
