Like many other municipalities in the Bregenzer Wald, the municlipalty used a pine tree on its seal since the 19th century. The pine tree was placed in the arms on the local monument of the council house of the Bregenzer Wald (destroyed in the 18th century). The monument was erected in 1871.

The meaning of the stars is not known.
