Official blazon

Gespalten von Silber und Grün; über von Schwarz und Silber gespaltenem und gesenktem Wellenbalken vorne ein rotes Mühlrad, das oben mit einer roten Heugabel besteckt ist, hinten eine silberne heraldische Lilie, die mit einer silbernen Haselnuss besetzt ist.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on October 25, 1983.

The green colour and the red hay-fork symbolise the agricultural character of the municipality. The water-mill wheel symbolises the water-mill that the Fugger family established in 1712 in the municipality. The fleur-de-lys is the symbol of the H. Mary and symbolises the Maria Himmelfahrt church in the village. At the same time it is a symbol taken from the arms of the Fugger family. The hazel on top of the fleur-de-lys is a canting symbol. The wavy bar symbolises the Hasel river.

Literature : Kolb and Putz, 1991
