Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on June 8, 1998.
The first quarter shows a glass chalice, symbol for the former glass factory in the village, which was established in 1705. The horse symbolises the former post station, where the post horses were held, as well as the modern tourism and horseriding in the municipality. The base shows two wavy bars for the many ditches and streams running trough the green fields.
