Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on August 26, 1963.

The chequered field refers to the County Sponheim, to which the area historically belonged. The lower half shows a canting mountain (Berg), which symbolizes the local mountains. The wolf's head symbolizes the historical Wolfskaul, a small valley where there wolfs used to be trapped.
