Origin/meaning
The red cross symbolises the State of Trier, to which the area historically belonged. The single bar symbolises the Gallscheid court, to which jurisdiction the village belonged. The golden cross and the sword are the symbols of St. Philippus and St. James, patron saint of the village.
