Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on September 9, 1975.
The name of the new municipality was derived from the resort built in 1719 by Margrave Karl Wilhem of Baden-Durlach in Langensteinbach. The arms show a fountain as a symbol for the health spa and resort. The five pales in the right half of the shield symbolise the five former municipalities.
Literature: John, 1986.
