===Origin/meaning===
If this text appears, it means that I have not yet had the time to add the information on these arms. Just [[Contact]] me  and I will add the information and/or picture !  

The previous arms were granted in 1953.

These arms show in the lower part the castle Schaumburg, which was a fortress built by the Dukes of [[Lorraine]]. 

The original arms show a bear on the castle. The cross is the cross of the [[Trier (State)|State of Trier]], to which the local parish belonged. The abbott's staff represents the Benedictian Abbey of Tholey, which existed until 1793 and which was rebuilt in 1949.
