The second seal of the village, dating from the late 15<sup>th</sup> century and used until 1627, showed two shields, both with a lion, and as a supporter behind the shields the local patron saint, St. Peter. The two shields show the arms of the two rulers in the area, the Counts of Nassau and of Katzenelnbogen. Since 1806 the village used only seals with the name or, during Napoleonic rule, a crowned letter N as addition. | The second seal of the village, dating from the late 15<sup>th</sup> century and used until 1627, showed two shields, both with a lion, and as a supporter behind the shields the local patron saint, St. Peter.
