Official blazon

(de) In Gold ein doppelschwänziger, rot bewehrter schwarzer Löwe aus einem grünen Dreiberg wachsend, der mit einem silbernen Rebenzweig, bestehend aus einer Traube und zwei Blättern, belegt ist.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on October 16, 1992.

The lion is taken from an old seal of the village from around 1840; its meaning or origin are not known. The base symbolises the local Weingartenberg (vineyard-mountain) as well as the historical importance of viticulture for the village until 1914.
