Origin/meaning
The arms are canting, three ravens (Raben) on a letter W, shown as a wall. The arms already appear on the oldest known seal of the village, known since 1563. The original arms showed more rounded hills, later the hills became real points. Otherwise the arms have not changed since.
Literature : Knodt, 1956
