Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 28, 1965.

The arms show the shield with the red chevrons of the former Counts of Hanau, to which the area historically belonged. The T is the Tau-cross, symbol of St. Anthony, as in medieval times the Order of the Hospital Brothers of St. Anthony has many possessions and rights in the village.
