Origin/meaning:
The arms were adopted on April 20, 1995.
The arms are much older, the oldest use of these arms dates from 1756, when the local judge sealed with a seal whowing these arms. The arms show a demi-eagle and a hill with three heart-shaped stones. The meaning of the elements is not known. Historical images show the same composition, but the colours of the bill and claws of the eagle have varied during the centuries.

The arms as shown by Widimsky (left) and Kobel (right)
Literature : Kobel und Pirchegger, 1954; Widimsky, 1864; new images from here.
