(de) Von Blau und Rot gespalten, rechts ein linksgewendeter goldbewehrter silberner Greif, links auf gewölbtem grünem Grund der goldbekrönte heilige Bernhard von Baden in goldenem Panzer mit rotem Brustkreuz, in seiner Rechten ein goldener Wappenschild mit rotem Schrägbalken, in der Linken eine silberne Fahne mit rotem Kreuz.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 3, 1949.

The griffin is taken from the arms of the Amt Gräfenstein, to which the village historically belonged. The other half shows the local patron saint, St. Bernardus, shown as a knight.
