Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1979 after the merger with the other municipalities.
The arms are a combination of the elements from the 4 older arms. After the merger the designer, Heinz Ritt, made five proposals for new arms, of whcih the arms above were chosen. All designs show symbols from the old arms, see below.
