Origin/meaning

The arms were designed and adopted in 1978.

The right half shows 6 leaves in a bordure, taken from the arms of the noble Laubgassen family (the leaves are canting Laub=leaf in German). The family had large possessions in the municipality in the 14th century. The three fleur-de-lys are taken from the arms of the Klinglin family, last Lords of Blitzheim in the 18th century.

Literature : Wilsdorf et al, 1978
