BIRKHEIM
State : Rheinland-Pfalz
District (Kreis) : Rhein-Hunsrück Kreis
Verbandsgemeinde : Verbandsgemeinde Emmelshausen
Official blazon
Schild in Silber durch einen blauen Schräglinkswellenbalken geteilt, vorne ein rotes Balkenkreuz, hinten ein blauer Schrägrechtswellenbalken, darunter ein schwarzes Wasserrad, oben ein grünes Birkenblatt.
Origin/meaning
The arms show the red cross of the State of Trier, to which the village historically belonged. The main bllue bend symbolises the Grenzbach river, the smaller bend the Dorfbach (or Quänkelbach). The birch leaf is a canting symbol (Birke=birch), whereas the water-mill wheel symbolises the fromer Fritze Mühle in the village, which was destroyed in the 1920s.
