Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1966.

The wheatear symbolises the importance of agriculture and is derived from the arms of the Amt Wünnenberg. The bell stands for the St. John's church and the crown as an attribute of Virgin Mary refers to the Virgin Mary Grotto in the village.
