Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on September 11, 1989.

The arms are canting. The white horse and the banner with the cross are commonly associated with St. George, the Christian knight and patron of chivalry. The charges were fashioned after a series of wall paintings from Romanesque times in the church of St. Georgen.
