Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1965.

The Z is actually a so-called wolf's hook, a symbol used by the village on borderstones since 1706. In the 19^th century the symbol was used on the local seal and since the late 19^th century also as arms.

The oldest known use of a seal for the village dates from 1448, but the oldest existing seal dates from the 17^th century. It shows St. Aegidius, the local patron saint.

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
