Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 9, 1950 and show in the upper half a canting house in the local style. The house specifically showed the Haus auf dem Walle, a local estate built in 1510 by the Von Minnigerode family.

The lower half shows the wheel of the State of Mainz, as the village became a loan of the Archbishops of Mainz in the late 14^th century, and they finally bought the village in the 15^th century. The village remained a possession of Mainz until 1803.
