Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on ??

The arms are, in a way, canting. The name itself is a corruption of a medieval name, Wurmschach. "Schach" meant, in those days, a light wood or the fringes of the forest. "Wurm" means worm (literally), but also snake or even dragon. So, a snake appears between the trees.
