German | blazon wanted |

Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 4, 1972.
The upper part shows the lion of Berg, as the area belonged historically to the county of Berg. The lower part shows a knight. The arms are based on the seal of the village from 1557. Most of the villages in the county Berg had their own seals, with the lion in the upper part and a local symbol in the lower part. The knight is derived from the older arms of the area, which showed a miner with a hammer. Mining has been of great importance for the area for many centuries. See also the site on the Windeck mining.
