State : Baden-Württemberg

Official blazon
In Silber ein springender roter Hirsch.
Origin/meaning
The arms were designed in 1930 and are based on the old seal of the village. The seal dates from 1844 and showed a shield with a deer and a double-eagle as supporter. The eagle most likely was the Austrian eagle, as the area belonged to the Hohenberg county as part of Austria until 1805. The meaning of the deer is not known. The colours were chosen as silver and red, the colours of both Austria and the Hohenberg County.
Literature : John and Heine, 1989
