Unter silbernem Wellenschildhaupt, dar­in drei rote gemeine Kreuze, in Gold eine gestürzte blaue Spitze, belegt mit einer gol­denen Lilie Origin/meaning The arms were officially granted on August 10, 1967. The arms symbolise the etymology of the name, which is derived from a deep ford (furt) in the Bist river. The French fleur-de-lys symbolises that the village was part of France from 1766-1815. The chief refers to the Waldgassen Abbey, to which the area historically belonged.
