Origin/meaning
The arms show a deer head with a cross, the symbol for St. Hubertus, the local patron saint. In this case the cross has been changed to the cross of Lorraine, as the village is part of Lorraine. The blue bar is canting and symbolises the Breidenbach river (Breidenbach means broad stream/brook).
