Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on May 21, 1941.

The silver point in the arms is a chanting symbol. The village is in a vally, with a very narrow (Eng) entrance, which is symbolised by the point. The bridge is the local bridge over the Sernft river. The black mountains symbolise the local mountains, but also the mining of black slate in the village. The mining company was taken over in 1844 by the Canton, which is symbolised by the red bordure; by the red colour all three colours of the arms of the canton are represented in the arms.
