===Official blazon=== | |||
In blauem Schild golden ein auf einem silbernen Berg sitzendes nacktes, nur mit Lendentuch bekleidetes Kind, unter drei halbrund angeordneten goldenen fünfzackigen Sternen mit einer der vorne und hinten gebogen aus dem Berg wachsenden silbernen Blumen spielend. | |||
===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The current arms were officially granted on January 1, 2018. | |||
The arms are canting, showing a child (Kind) on a hill (Berg), surrounded by two flowers and two stars. The arms are already seen on a seal of the village dating from April 18, 1652. An older stamp for a seal exists, dating from the 16th century, which shows the same composition, but with the child facing the opposite direction, see image below. | The arms are canting, showing a child (Kind) on a hill (Berg), surrounded by two flowers and two stars.

In the late 19th century the arms were shown wrongly by Ströhl in the overview of city arms in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Instead of the flowers and two stars, now three stars were shown above the child and a beehive with bees was added. | In the late 19th century the arms were shown wrongly by Ströhl in the overview of city arms in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The old arms were not properly described and shown often very naturalistic. In the new arms the colours have been better described and the third star has been added again, now officially as one for each of the three former municipalities. | |||
There is also a legend about the arms; once upon a time a child was washed away when the river flooded. The child was found near Kindberg on a meadow unharmed and playing with flowers. | |||
