Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1921 and are based on the arms of the medieval Lords of Widergis, who originated from the village. As no historical colours were known, the colours of the State of Trier were chosen, to which the village belonged for many centuries, for the rose (silver and red). The blue is the colour of Nassau, as in 1803 the village became part of the Duchy of Nassau.
