Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on January 26, 1993.
The eagle is derived from the arms of the Imperial Abbey of St. Maximin in Trier, to which the village historically belonged. The bar is derived from the arms of the Lords of Lontzen, who owned several mills in the area in the 17th century. The three crosses are derived from the arms of the Bitburg district, in which the village was situated until the late 18th century. The three crosses symbolise the three villages in the municipality.
Literature: Wappenbuch der Verbandsgemeinde Bitburg-Land 1995.
