Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on September 2, 1992.

The pine tree is a canting symbol, the name can be translated as village-near-the-forest (Wald=forest). Until 1583 the village was a possession of the Counts of Henneberg, which is symbolised by the second quarter (Henne=chicken, Berg=mountain). The base shows the initial of the village.
