Shield Azure, a scythe blade Argent in fess, in chief a plough share Argent flanked by two 6-point stars Or, issuant from base a triplemount Or.
Meaning:
A municipal seal from 1811 first displayed the current pattern, howver with different proportions.The triplemount probably is a modification of the arms of the Princes of Schwarzenberg, local rulers from the middle of the 18th century until 1805. Blade and share are alluding to the rural character of the municipality. The stars are mere ornaments.

The arms were adopted by the municipality in 1913. The banner was approved on 20 August 1990 by the county administration, published in GABl 1035/1990.
