The coat of arms is a shield with a white mantling. In a blue field is a white tower placed upon four white steps and flanked by white walls masoned black. The tower stands between two white pillars propping up a roof of the same colour. The pinkish base shows the name of the village in white capitals. The mantling is quilted and has a 3-D effect; in my image this is achieved by grey shadows. The tower is symbolizing St. Barbara, the patron of the municipality. In fact you can find a carving upon the door of the local parish church, showing St. Barbara holding a tower in her hand. I observed this flag on 27 May 2009 at the town hall.
