Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on May 5, 1930 and replaced the older arms (above left), which were used unofficially.

The old arms are based on the 17^th century seal of the village (known since 1684). The bridge (Brücke) is a canting element, the meaning of the squirrels and the tree is not known. The new arms are based on the second seal of the village, known from the late 18^th century. The left half now shows a milestone (Meilenstein), a canting element for Langmeil.

Literature: Debus, 1988
