Official blazon

Durch eine silberne Leiste von Schwarz und Blau geteilt, oben durch einen silbernen Stab gespalten, oben rechts fünf silberne Bollen 2:1:2, oben links drei waagrechte goldene Ähren, unten eine achteckige silberne Kapelle mit schwarzen Fenstern.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 23, 1983.

The arms symbolize the merger of the three village by the division of the shield in three fields, the three wheat-ears and the three visible sides of the chapel. The balls are taken from the arms of the Lords of Sickingen, to whom the villages belonged until 1793. The wheat-ears refer to the agricultural character and the chapel is a typical building for the municipality.

Literature : Debus, 1988
