Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on ??

The arms show the local monument. The rings on the monumnet refer to the local tradition that each family owned a ring. When a stranger came to the village he put his horse on one of the rings and that meant that the family that owned the ring had to provide shelter. The motto also refers to this tradition.
