The shield is divided per pale into gold (= yellow) and red. The dexter side displays a red gonfanon having three tails. The sinister side displays a golden (= yellow) duck foot.
Meaning:
The duck foot is a local symbol since the 19th century ans is displayed in a shield on seals of that time. Due to a suggestion of the State Archive Directorate the gonfanon, a symbol of the Palatine Counts of Tübingen, which was also used on boundary stones of the village, was added later.
