Shield Argent, in base an impending inescutcheon Gules, charged with a fess wavy Argent and flanked by the scarves of a mitre Gules in chief, flanked in chief by two pairs of hammer and mallet Sable.
Meaning:
The mitre is representing St.Trudpert Monastery, from which the village was ruled until 1806 as a vassal of Austria, represented by the inescutcheon. Hammer and mallet are alluding to silver mining of the name giving little town of Münster, which had mines and a mint in the Medieval, but declined to a village in the 16th century. Mining remainded an important business until the 18th century.
