Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 25, 1992.

The chief symbolises the Liessem castle, built in the 14th century. In 1525 Dieter von Enschringen bought the castle and his family lived on the castle for many centuries. The lower part of the arms shows the arms of the Enschringen family.

Literature : Wappenbuch der Verbandsgemeinde Bitburg-Land 1995.
