Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted in 1980.

The blue base symbolises the Soultzbach stream as well as the ponds in the area, the wheel is a symbol for the many water mills that used to operate in the village, and which played a major role in the development of the local textile industry. The latter is symbolised by the spindle.
