Origin/meaning

The arms are knows since 1463.

The arms are canting, showing a forest (Wald) in an estate (Hof). The arms first appear on the oldest seal of the town dating from the late 15th century. The arms also appear on a document from 1585. In the early 19th century the arms showed three flowers instead of trees, but in the late 19th century the old composition was restored.
