Origin/meaning

The hawk in the arms is derived from the name Havucobrunno, who was named in the first document from 813 where Emperor Charlemagne granted the rights to clear the local forests and to establish a village. The green base shows the green character of the village and the importance of forestry. The trefoil is a symbol for the agricultural character of the village.
