Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on February 7, 1992.

Oberweiler was in the Middle Ages a separate estate, which was ruled by the Lords of Heisgen. They used arms with five fleur-de-lis. The three fleur-de-lis in the chief are derived from these arms.

The lower part symbolises the patron saint, St. Hubert, whose symbol is a deer with a cross between the antlers.
