The arms were granted in 1811, but seemed to date from the 18<sup>th</sup> century. When the arms were granted the local council could not explain the hook-like figure. It most likely was an old village sign. The wavy bend is a canting element (Bach=stream). In the 19<sup>th</sup> century the arms were often shown wrongly, with for example a straight bend or in different colours. | The arms were granted in 1811, but seemed to date from the 18<sup>th</sup> century.
