Coat of Arms

The current coat of arms was created during the merger of municipalities in 2015.  The renewal of the municipal coat of arms took effect on March 10, 2017. 

The amended blazon reads:
"In a red shield on a golden hill stands a young, beardless peasant in a belted knee-length tunic, trousers, and low shoes, with a bag on his right belt, from which the handle of a knife protrudes, holding a sickle with an inwardly curved blade in his raised right hand, and five ears of grain in his left hand; the figure is placed on a lowered silver wavy bar with blue flooding."
