The arms are based on the historical seal of the village, dating from the 15<sup>th</sup> century and used until the late 18<sup>th</sup> century. The arms show the local patron saint, St. Martin, shown in an unusual way (normally he is shown as a knight, cutting his cloak for a beggar), holding a small shield with the arms of Pfalz-Bayern. The crosses probably refer to the diocese of Worms, to which the local church belonged. The village as such was ruled by the Kings of Bayern (diamonds), counts of the Pfalz (lion). | The arms are based on the historical seal of the village, dating from the 15<sup>th</sup> century and used until the late 18<sup>th</sup> century.
