Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on December 4, 2008.

The frog is a canting element, as the name can be translated from early Slavonic as 'frog-eaters', which probably refers to the many herons and storks in the area.

The fire refers to a logal legend, in which the onwer of the local estate rode around the village during a fire. Herewith he took the fire and prevented more damage to the village.

The green colour refers to the nature in the area. Als Hauptfarben wurden Grün für den Frosch, Gold (Gelb) für das Feuer und Silber (Weiß) für die

The old seal of the village, used until the 1950s, shows a shield with three spades. This element was not taken into the new arms.
