In Blau über einer gestürzten silbernen Pflugschar ein silbernes Hufeisen, mit dem rechten Stollen nach unten.
Origin/meaning
The arms were designed and adopted in 1900.
The oldest known seal of the village dates from 1530 and shows a shield with a plough iron. In the 19th century the same arms were used on the seal, but now with a wreath or a crown. To distinguish the arms from similar arms with a plough iron, the symbol used by the village on border stones was added in the upper half of the arms; a horseshoe with a small extension on the right.
