Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1553, but the original document does no longer exist. The oldest seal dates from the same time and shows the above arms. The fish (described as a Äsche) and the wavy bar (Bach=brook, stream) are canting elements. The stars symbolise the historical county of Störnstein.
