Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on January 21, 1992.

The horse head symbolises the name of the village (Pferd=horse), but also the importance of horse-breeding in the village. The half cross symbolises a local devotion cross, from which one crossbar is missing. The three balls in the base are the symbol of St. Nicholas, the local patron saint.
