Description of coat of arms:
In a silver shield with a dark green base is a knight in silver (= white) armour. On top of his helmet are green plumes. The knight is riding a black horse forcene having red and golden bridles.
Meaning:
The arms are canting. The name of the village literally means "colonel's field". The colonel is the knight, the field is the green base. The pattern is already known from a seal dated 1681. The tinctures are based on a suggestion from 1918 made by Archivdirektion Stuttgart.

Enquiries of the municipality have proven that the flag was already in use before the 1 April 1935.
