  • (de) In Gold auf grünem Dreiberg ein silbernes Baumkreuz mit grünen Ästen und grünen Blättern, begleitet rechts oben von einem silbernen Stern, links oben von einem abnehmenden silbernen Halbmond.

Origin/meaning

The arms are partially canting, showing a beech (Buche) on a hill (Berg). The tree is covered by a cross as a typical Christian symbol. The star and crescent are symbols for St. Mary as well as for eternity.
