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.
