Official blason:
Geviert von Blau und Silber; Feld 1 und 4: ein goldener Angelhaken, Feld 2 und 3: eine schrägrechte rote Pflugschar.

Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on August 17, 1995.

The arms show two fish-hooks for the former importance of fisheries in the local lakes. The plough iron refers to the agricultural character of the municipality. The colours are those of the Lingau County, to which the village historically belonged.
