Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1900.
The arms symbolise forestry, a saw cutting through a block of wood. The arms are not heraldically properly designed, however. The arms replaced a seal that showed a saw under a crown. In the early 19th century the village simply used a seal with the arms of Baden. Older seals or arms are not known.
