Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on April 10, 1969.

The upper half is based on the 19^th century seal of the municipality, which, in turn probably was based on a late 18^th century seal. The seal showed a canting church (Kirche) on a mountain and flanked by two angels. In the official description of the arms the church is defined as the Walburgis-chapel on the Walberla mountain in the municipality. The chapel dates from the 14^th century. The base of the arms shows a wavy bar, symbol for the Bach-part of the name (Bach=stream).
