Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 30, 1988.

The blue reversed pall is a symbol for the origin of the name of the village (from a word for stream) and also for the many streams in the municipality. The apple symbolises the (former) importance of apple growing. The base shows symbols for the local stone quarries, which were of great importance for the development of the village. The eagle refers to the Abbey of St. Irminen, to which the village historically belonged.
