Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on August 13, 1959.

The upper part of the arms is taken from the arms of the Counts (later Princes) Von Oettingen, who ruled the village for many centuries. The lower half shows the black cross of the Teutonic Order, who already in early medieval times owned some possessions in the village.
