Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted in 1895.

The oldest known seals of the village date from the 14th century. As they are all heavily damaged, it is impossible to determine the design of the field. In the 19th century the village used the arms of the State of Baden with the letters GW on the seal.

In 1895 the State Archives proposed the above arms instead, based on the oldest arms of the Counts of Vaihingen, lords of the village until the middle of the 14th century. To differentiate the arms from the arms of the Counts is that the field was made silver and the rounded hills in base were made points. The council approved and adopted the design.
