Shield Argent, a towing bar Gules with two wheels of the same.
Meaning:
The current pattern, a local symbol, interpreted as towing bar with wheels, appeared first on seals mentioned in 1560 with prints from 1563. Later seals displayed variations in shape, partially accompanied by stars. The local council adopted the arms in 1901. The tinctures of the charges had been however displayed in natural colours, i.e. brown. The tincture was changed to Gules later.
