Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on April 25, 1538 by Walter von Crohnberg, Master of the Teutonic Order. The Order owned the village since 1401. The arms are a combination of the cross of the Order and the St. Mary, patron saint of the Order. The original document still exists and the arms have not changed since.

The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
