Origin/meaning

The above arms were proposed in 1956. I have no information whether the arms were actually used.

The cross is taken from the arms of the oldest seal of the village, dating from the 17^th century. The seal showed a shield with a cross, and as crest a judge holding another cross. The above arms reproduce the cross, but as a symbol of the local court, the judge was replaced by a branch of roses.

Literature : Hessisches Ortswappenbuch, 1956.
