Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on February 27, 1970.
The arms were newly devised and as none of the older municipalities had arms, the new arms were based on the old seal of Millen, which showed a rose tree. The 8 roses represent the 8 former municipalities.
Literature : Nagel, R. Rheinisches Wappenbuch, 1986.
