Origin/meaning

The arms were designed and adopted in 1900.

The oldest known seal of the village dates from 1530 and shows a shield with a plough iron. In the 19^th century the same arms were used on the seal, but now with a wreath or a crown. To distinguish the arms from similar arms with a plough iron, the symbol used by the village on border stones was added in the upper half of the arms; a horseshoe with a small extension on the right.
