Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 22, 1939.

Viticulture is very important for the village, which is shown by the grapes in the lower half. The upper half symbolises the 'gate to the German wine-road', as this (touristic) road starts in the village.


Literature: Debus, 1988
