Baroque shield Argent with chief Gules, two keys Sable in saltire.
Meaning:
Red and white are the tinctures of the Archbishopric of Salzburg, to which the village historically belonged. The keys are an attribute of St. Peter, the patron saint of the archbishopric. They are also alluding to the Benedictine St. Peter Abbey, another manorial lord between around 1000 and 1803.
