===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms show the red cross of the [[Trier (State)|State of Trier]], to which the village historically belonged. The main bllue bend symbolises the Grenzbach river, the smaller bend the Dorfbach (or Quänkelbach). The birch leaf is a canting symbol (Birke=birch), whereas the water-mill wheel symbolises the fromer Fritze Mühle in the village, which was destroyed in the 1920s. | |||
