Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on February 26, 1979.
The village was ruled until the end of the 18th century by the Bishops of Speyer, which are represented by the cross of the State of Speyer. The cross is shortened, so that the four branches of the cross each represent an axe, the symbol of the local patron saint, St. Wolfgang. The label in the lower half is taken from the arms of the Schenk von Waldenburg family, vassals of the bishops, who ruled the village.
The base refers to the chapel of St. Mary in the village, a well-known place for pilgrimage. The fleur-de-lis is the symbol of St Mary.
