The shield is divided per pale. The dexter side is divided per fess, displaying above in a red field a silver (= white) fess and below in a blue field a silver (= white) wing. The dexter side displays a black demi-eagle couped per pale, armed silver (= white) and tongued red. Upon his breast is a half silver (= white) plough share.
Meaning:
The village originally was a loan of the Lords of Üsenberg to the Bishops of Strassbourg and became Austrian in 1415. The oldest seal of the town dates from 1520 and shows the wing of the arms of Üsenberg combined with the arms of Austria in the upper part and a plough share (probably an old village-symbol) in the lower part. Later that century (around 1586) the arms were changed; the right part was now the combination of Üsenberg and Austria, whilst an Imperial demi- eagle was placed onto the sinister half. Upon the eagle's breast the plough share of the former arms was placed.
