Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 16, 1997.

The arms are based on those of Friedrich der Wenger, a local nobleman of the 14th century.
The two bars wavy refer to the Riegersbach and the Lafnitz rivers. The crosier's head and the three balls are symbols for St. Nicholas, patron saint of the church. The branch with the three apples shows the gain of diligence, the fruit of the earth.
