Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted in 1913.
The Capercaillie (or Wood grouse, Auerhahn in German) is used as a canting element, and is shown courting (Balzen in German). The capercaillie was aslready used in the arms of the village from the 19th century. Those arms showed a divided shield, with in the upper part the three swan's necks of the Zwingenberg dynasty and the three blue eagle of the Princes of Leiningen; the historical rulers in the area.
