Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on ??
I have no information on the origin or meaning of these arms. Any information is welcome !
The arms below were proposed in 1956.
The arms are based on the oldest known seal of the village, dating from 1568. The seal showed the local patron saint, St. Michael, killing a dragon. This is symbolised by the flaming sword, the common symbol of St. Michael, and a snake for the dragon.
Literature : Hessisches Wappenbuch, 1956
