Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 12, 1956.
The arms are those of the Lords of Hochweisel, first mentioned in 1231, who had a castle in the village. The family became extinct in 1559. The village had its own court for centuries, but no seal or arms of the court are known, hence the choice of the arms of the medieval lords.
