Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1953.

The arms show in the upper half a canting sack ('Beutel'). This sack already appeared in the Waiblingen town hall in 1577 and on border stones from the 17th century, and always in a rather elongated shape. In the 18th century seals of the village the sack appears as well, but placed diagonally in the shield. In the 19th century the arms of the village were described as a red sack in a silver field.

The arms in the Chorographia Württemberg (Wolleber, 1591)

In 1930 the village adopted arms with a combination of the sack and the deer antlers of Württemberg. The colours were described as those of Württemberg (black and gold), but it took until 1953 before the arms were officially granted.
