Shield Argent, at dexter an eradicated beech Vert, at sinister a tube well Sable.
Meaning:
The arms are based on a local seal from the 17th century and from local architectural sculptures.The arms are canting displaying a beech (German: Buche) and a well (German: Brunnen). Both elements are located at the local village square. The tinctures black and white are those of the Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach, the former rulers.
