"In a squared shield hanging from a black vine in silver at the top right, a blue, green-leafed bunch of grapes, at the top left in green the silver crook of a bishop's staff growing obliquely from the dividing line, at the bottom right in red growing out of the gap a silver twelve-spoke wagon wheel, at the bottom left in." Silver a black ox yoke. "

The new award of the municipal coat of arms for the merged municipality took place with effect from September 30, 2016
The new blazon reads:

"In the shield, divided from blue to green by two golden crossed candles that reach into the corners of the shield and to the edges of the shield, a silver miner sitting cross-legged on rock and holding hammer and mallet in his hands in historical costume, above in the middle a golden miter . "

The new coat of arms combines the coats of arms of the two previous municipalities.
