Origin/meaning

The arms refer to the three Fischbach villages : Ober-, Mittel- and Niederfischbach. The three fish refer to the three villages, the larger fish for the individual village; in Oberfischbach the upper fish is the largest, in Mittelfischbach the middle fish. Niederfischbach does no longer exist, but would have the lower fish as the largest.
