The arms show a kind of tool, officially described as a Geissel, a kind of whip. The whip and the three points in chief already appear on the only known seal of the village. The meaning and origin is not known. The base refers to the castle in the valley. The colours are those of the Counts of the Rhein (Wild und Rheingrafen), to whom the area historically belonged. | The arms show a kind of tool, officially described as a Geissel, a kind of whip.
