Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1910, but are based on the oldest seal of the village, known since 1490. The arms show a yoke and two roses. The yoke probably is a symbol for agriculture, the roses may be a symbol of justice, but their origin is not quite clear. The colours were finally determined in 1910 as no historical colours were known.
