In Rot eine silberne Torburg mit einem hohen, dreifenstrigen Zinnenturm auf der rechten und einem niedrigen, zweifenstrigen Zinnenturm mit blauer Kuppel auf der linken Seite. Das spitzgieblige Torhaus trägt ein Fenster über roter, mit goldenem Fallgitter ausgefüllter Toröffnung. Über dem niedrigen Turm schwebt ein silbernes Johanniter kreuz. |

Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 17, 1972.
The arms show the castle in Homburg, as both towns belonged to the Lordship Homburg, a possession of the Counts of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg. The left tower of the castle has been changed to make space for the cross of the Knights of St. John (Maltese cross), who had an estate in the municipality.
