Official blazon

Gespalten; vorne von Rot und Silber schräg geteilt, darauf ein Panter in verwechselten Farben; hinten in Silber über grünem Dreiberg drei grüne Tannen.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 6, 1974.

The right half shows the arms of the Sünzl zu Söldenau family, who acquired the Weideneck castle in 1601, and who played a major role in the local history for a long period. The three trees and the mountain in the left half symbolise the three former municipalities.
