Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on May 8, 1952, but are identical to the arms shown on the local fountain from 1658 (colours) and local seals since the middle of the 16^th century. The arms are a variation on the arms of the Counts of Solms (see also Braunfels). One of the branches of the Solms dynasty resided in the local castle since 1548.
