Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 3, 1937 (to the then Amt Morbach).
The bordure of silver and black symbolizes the fact that the area belonged to Preussen (Prussia). The cross is the symbol of the State of Trier, the lower half shows the arms of the Vögte von Hunolstein. Historically the area was partly part of Trier and partly owned by the Vögte von Hunolstein.
