In a silver (= white) shield is a red, rampant lion. Upon his breast is a right hand, placed sinister bendy, in natural colour. He is cutting bunches of grapes with a blue vinegrower's knife, while his other hand is clasping the pole of a vine plant in natural colours with three bunches of grapes.
Meaning:
The arms display the red lion of the Habsburg kin, connected with the symbols of viticulture. The hand is considered as a symbol of the loyalty to Habsburg of the inhabitants.
