Origin/meaning
The above arms were proposed in the 1950s. Whether the arms were officially adopted, I don't know.
The arms combine the bordure and the lion of the Counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg with a cross for the local patron saint. The oldest known seal of the village dates from the 16th century and shows the arms of Hanau-Lichtenberg, owners of the village, with an unidentifiable saint as supporter. The saint could be St. Vitus, the local patron saint, but could not be properly identified. Hence a cross was chosen as a symbol in the new arms instead of the typical attribute of the saint.
