Official blazon

In Rot ein goldener Sester [mit pfahlweis gestelltem Stab].

Origin/meaning

The oldest known seal of the village dates from the early 19th century and already shows the arms with the old village sign. Its meaning is not known, but is similar to the arms of neighbouring Plittersdorf and Wintersdorf.

The arms were officially granted in January 1901, in the colours of Baden, as no historical colours were known.
