Official blason :
De gueules au fer de moulin d'argent accosté de quatre croisettes pommetées au pied fiché de même mises en croix.

Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted in 1983.

The mill iron is a canting element, the name is derived from Le Moulin de Germain (moulin being mill). The crosses are taken from the arms of the Marquisate of Gerbéviller, to which the village historically belonged.
