Official blazon

Geteilt von Rot und Gold; oben ein mit blauem Wolkenfeh belegtes silbernes Andreaskreuz, unten drei schräg übereinander angeordnete, sechsstrahlige blaue Sterne.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 16, 1974.

The arms are a combination of the arms of the two families that played a major role in the local history; the upper half shows the arms of the Schweppermann family, the lower of the Löwenthal family.
