In the early 20<sup>th</sup> century [[Otto Hupp|Hupp]] proposed the upper left arms with Mary and child, which was derived from the old seal of Gersweiler. The arms were never officially granted, but were used by the council.<br/> | Finkenbach and Gersweiler were united in the late 19<sup>th</sup> century and until then each village had a separate seal.

The new arms combine the seals of both Gersweiler (Mary and child) and Finkenbach. The latter showed a canting finch (Fink) on a field scattered with balls. These were replaced by the small bars in the present arms. The colours, gold and green, were taken from the arms of the Lords of Reipoltskirchen, who owned the village for a long time. | The new arms combine the seals of both Gersweiler (Mary and child) and Finkenbach.
