Official blazon

Silber ein quadratischer schwarzer Rahmen mit einem rechts gezahnten schwarzen Pfahl, überdeckt von einem über die Seiten hinausragenden schwarzen Balken.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1900.

The arms symbolise forestry, a saw cutting through a block of wood. The arms are not heraldically properly designed, however. The arms replaced a seal that showed a saw under a crown. In the early 19^th century the village simply used a seal with the arms of Baden. Older seals or arms are not known.
