coat of arms
Blazon : "Under a silver shield head, inside a left-facing, lying black fallow deer shovel, in green a silver millstone."
The fallow deer shovel documents the still considerable game population in the wooded municipal area. The millstone in the center of the coat of arms indicates the leasehold water mill on the Mühlenau and its economic importance for the place and its surrounding area.
