The oldest known village seal, dating from 1543, shows the upper half of a knight, holding a cross. The origin of the knight is not clear, it may be the local parish saint, St. George, or it is derived from the seal of the Frankish Lord Marbod, after which the village supposedly was named.

In 1956 the arms below were proposed, but not adopted.
The oldest known village seal, dating from 1543, shows the upper half of a knight, holding a cross.
