The arms were granted in 1958 and show the canting white tower (Weis=white, Kirche=church) between four water mill wheels. The wheels represent the former water mills in and around the village. <br/>


In 1955 other arms were proposed, with in the upper half five golden wheat ears and in the lower half a wheel (see below). The ears should represent the agriculture in the area. This proposal was based on a 17<sup>th</sup> century seal and 15<sup>th</sup> century engravings in the local church. These show in the upper part two hooks and in the lower part a wheel. The hooks were probably a sign of the local masonry, which were later seen as a village symbol. <br/>
