Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on August 25, 1978.

The two red balls are taken from the arms of the Kolb von War­tenberg family, lords of the villages of Mehlingen and Sembach. The fleur-de-lys is a symbol of St. Mary, who appeared on the seal of the Enkenbach Abbey from 1493 onwards. The fleur-de-lys is one of her symbols, as are the colours silver and blue. The fleur-de-lys may also refer to the arms of the Randeck family, which also had a number of possessions in the area.

The bordure is a typical symbol for a Verbandsgemeinde, each of the four municipalitie sis represented by a silver and red part.
