In 1803 all the Austrian possessions became part of Baden. The family thus were the longest rules of the village and thus their ancient arms are held by the bear.


The old seals of the village showed a rather different composition, see below. The seal showed a small chapel with the symbol of the Roman god Mars and an animal, most likely a horse. The composition may be canting, Mars-house, there is also a chapel named after Mars mentioned in the village until the 18th century. <br>

The horse could be a canting element (M&auml;hre or mare), but has also been described as a dog. Until 1945 the seals showed this composition, after 1945 the seals showed the whole in a shield, making it unofficial arms. As it is a rather non heraldic composition, the State Archives proposed the above arms in 1963.
