Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 8, 1970.

The chief with the red diamonds is derived from the arms of the Von Ulmen family, known from 1121-1762. The hallberd is the symbol of St. Matthew, the local patron saint. He already appeared on the parish seal in 1372 and in the town seal from 1654.

The castle symbolises the local castle, which ruins no dominate the village.
