Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted in 1995.

The goat (Ziege) is a canting element for the village, which is known to the locals as Zicken-Zens. The goat is placed on a hill, as the village is on a hilly part, a remnant of a glacial moraine. The gold refers to the rich cornfields in the area.
