Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 24, 1991.

The arms show the head of the eagle of Tirol coming out of some bushes. The village has been part of Tirol for many centuries, hence the eagle. The name is derived from a word meaning bushes.

Literature : Köfler and Beimrohr, 1995
