Origin/meaning
The three silver balls refer to the medieval Schönhals zu Albrechtenrode family, who originated from the village. At the same time the balls refer to the three villages in the municipality, Alpenrod, Dehlingen and Hirtscheid.
The bell refers to the local parish, the trees to the forests. The colours are those of the County Sayn, to which the village historically belonged.
