Description of coat of arms:
In a green shield is a golden (=yellow) horseshoe surrounding an upright crozier of the same colour.
Meaning:
The horseshoe is symbolizing craftsmen and farming. The (shortened) crozier is symbolizing, that the village for more than 400 years belonged to the Cistercian monastery having the same name.
