Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on January 10, 1986.
The village changed its name, after the local church was gifted with relics of the Holy Apostle St. James the Elder (Jacobus Maior), who is buried at Santiago de Compostela in Galicia (north-western Spain). In the Middle Ages, Santiago was a place of pilgrimage and has remained so to this day. Hence the escallop and the pilgrim's staffs in the arms.
The main charge of the arms symbolize the Wildenstein falls (52 metres high). The crowned snake is taken from local folklore.
