Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1927 and show in the lower half a fox. The fox is a canting symbol for the old name of the village, Fuchsbach (fox-stream). The wheel is derived from the arms of the Lords of Bolanden, who ruled the village until around 1200. The eagle is derived from the arms of the Counts of Leiningen, who ruled the village from the 14^th century until 1729.

The only known seal of the town dates from the 17^th century and shows a canting foot (Fuss).

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
