Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 30, 1982.

The arms indicate the (economic) transformation of the village. Initially an agricultural village (scythe and flail), later more home (textile) industry developed (spinning wheel) and in the 19th century coal mining became the main activity (miner's lamp and tools).

The red and golden colours are taken from the arms of the Counts of Zweibrücken, to which the area belonged for many centuries.

Literature: Debus, 1988
