Unter silbernem Schildhaupt, darin ein rotes Balkenkreuz, in Rot zwölf goldene Eisenhütlein 5:4:3.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 24, 1962.
There are no historical arms or seals known. The upper part shows the helmet of Mercury, the symbol of trade. Wadern is the main trading centre in the area. The wolf's hook is taken from the arms of the Lords of Soetern, who became lords of the town in the 17th century. The deer antlers have 12 branches, which was used by Count Josef Anton von Oettingen-Soetern in 1775 to symbolise the 12 major farmers around the village
