Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 30, 1966.

The eagle is taken from the arms of Brandenburg and refers to the Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach, who ruled the village already in the late 14th century.

The baptismal font is the one found in the local church, which dates from medieval times. It also refers to Saint John Baptist, the local patron saint.
