(de) Über erhöhter Teilung in Silber eine fünfzackige rote Heidenkrone, unten in Rot aus dem Unterrand emporkommend ein 1:2 gequaderter silberner Steinberg, aus dem ein goldener Rebzweig mit zwei goldenen Blättern wächst.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on February 7, 1977.

The crown in the chief is the symbol of the County Kirchberg, to which all three villages in the municipality historically belonged. All three villages also used the crown in their previous arms. The base shows a pile of stones (canting for Steinberg, or stone-mountain) and a vine branch (canting from Weinstetten, Wein=vine).
