Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on November 25, 1937 (above right).
The arms are based on the oldest known seal of the village, dating from the middle of the 18th century. The lion most likely is the lion of the Pfalz and Hupp showed the arms in the 19th century in the colours of the Pfalz (above left). To avoid confusion with other similar arms, the arms were granted in 1937 in inverted colours.
