Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1970 and are based on the old seal of Burbach.
The lion in the right half of the shield is the lion of the Counts (later Princes) of Nassau-Siegen, as the area historically belonged to Nassau-Siegen. The three diamonds are derived from the arms of the Lords of Selbach. These medieval family had many possessions in the new municipality. The combination of the lion and diamonds already appeared in the seal of the local court of Selbach and Burbach from the 15th century.
