Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on February 8, 1980.
The pine trees are a canting element, Wald means forest. In the 15th century the village was described as the new church in the forest, hence the use of a church tower in the arms. The chief is derived from the arms of the Lords of Benzenau. At the same time the three balls symbolise the local patron saint, St. Nicholas. The wavy bar symbolises the Wertach river.
