Official blazon

In Silber eine zweitürmige, blau-bedachte und mit bekreuzten goldenen Turmkugeln auf den Turmspitzen und dem Langhausdachende besetzte rote Kirche in perspektivischer Südostansicht, im linken Obereck in Blau ein mit sieben goldenen Schindeln bestreuter steigender rot-bezungter und rot-wehrter goldener Löwe.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 1, 1935 and confirmed on September 30, 1983.

The seals of the town, known since 1541 all showed a canting church (Münster), and the lion of Nassau. The new arms were based on the old seals. The town belonged to Nassau from the 14th century until 1803.
