In Blau über drei nebeneinander liegenden silbernen Kugeln ein silbernes Wasserrad.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1964.

The arms refer to the, formerly common, special water mills in the municipality, Kugelwassermühle, or ball-bearing water mills. There is only one still operating in the village. The arms thus show three balls and a water mill wheel.
