Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 15, 1998.

The cross refers to the Stuben Abbey, which already owned a small chapel in 1190 and owned most of the village until 1807. The sword is the symbol for St. Quirinius, the local patron saint.

The green colour, wheat and sickle refer to the agricultural character of the village.
