Origin/meaning

The cloudy bordure is derived from the arms of the Princes of Fürstenberg, to whom the area belonged until 1806. The mill iron is taken from the arms of the Lords of Balgheim, who ruled the area in the 14th and 15th centuries as sheriffs of the Princes of Fürstenberg.

In 1895 the State Archives proposed the above arms, as no historical arms or seals were known. In 1896 the municipality accepted the proposal.
