Official blazon

Gespalten von Rot und Gold; vorn am Spalt ein silberner Adler mit goldener Bewehrung, hinten pfahlweise zwei aufrechte grüne Eicheln.

Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on February 13, 1996.

The arms show an eagle, which is used as a symbol for the local church, which was used as a warning tower for the village. The acorns refer to the local forests and the importance of forestry for the municipality.
