===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were adopted in 1960. | |||
The small shield shows the previous, unofficial, arms of the village, based on the seal from 1581 (see image below). The symbol is not very clear, it proabaly is a so-called village symbol, but its meaning is not known. It has been previously described as a Ringflasche (ring-bottle) and currently as a Halseisen (neck-iron). This is a piece of iron used to chain prisoners around the neck and to an object. | |||
It has also been stated that the symbol originally consisted of two rings, symbolising the local castle and the manor, both which were owned by the Lords of Eschollbrücken. | |||
In the new arms the village symbol was combined with thee diamonds, taken from the arms of the Lords von Waldbrunn, who owned the village in the 15th and 16th century. | |||
