Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 10, 1938.

The arms show a red mountain, which is a canting element (Berge), and at the same time is a main geographical landmark in the municipality, as the town is built on some hills. On top of the mountain is a linden tree, symbol for the court that was held here in medieval times. The plough iron is a symbol of agriculture.
