In Gold auf grünem Dreiberg eine grüne Pflanze.

Origin/meaning

The arms were never officially granted, but have been used since the late 19^th century.

The meaning, and species, of the plant is unknown. Most likely the plant is a linden tree, as there has been a local court in the village since the late 16^th century. The linden is a symbol for justice.

The plant has also been explained as a berry or potato, but there is no historical evidence thereof.

Literature : Debus, 1988.
