Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on August 27, 1964.
The arms are based on the arms of the Von Zweidorf family, who used a green bar with on each side two half roses with four leaves rather than the more common 5 leaf-variety. The municipality decided to use only one rose to distinguish the arms from the family arms.
