The old seals of the village showed a rather different composition, see below. The seal showed a small chapel with the symbol of the Roman god Mars and an animal, most likely a horse. The composition may be canting, Mars-house, there is also a chapel named after Mars mentioned in the village until the 18th century. <br>

The horse could be a canting element (M&auml;hre or mare), but has also been described as a dog. Until 1945 the seals showed this composition, after 1945 the seals showed the whole in a shield, making it unofficial arms. As it is a rather non heraldic composition, the State Archives proposed the above arms in 1963.
