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.
