Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1970 and are based on the oldest seal of the town, dating from the middle of the 15^th century. The oak tree probably is a canting element, the name is derived from Wald-dorf (forest-village). The arms have not changed since, only in some 19^th century images a horse-shoe was shown on the trunk of the tree.
