Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 22, 1963.

The arms show a spade, symbol of the local patron saint Isidorus, as well as of the pure agricultural character of the municipality. The colours were chosen arbitrarily. There were no historical seals of arms known for the village.

Literature : Belke et al., 1986
