Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on July 30, 1938.

The arms show a linden tree and a bench. These symbolise the historical court (Ding), which was held in the village for a very long time. The bench of the judges still existed in the village and was thus chosen as the arms.

Literature : Barner, 1953
