Meaning:
The cross is an attribute of St. George, the local patron saint. The star is an attribute of St. Mary, patron saint of a former second church. The crozier is a differentiation of the arms Benedictine Benediktbeuern Monastery, which had been manorial lord of the village. The horn is taken from the arms of the Wildeck family, who owned large estates and sold its possessions to the monastery in 1746.
