Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 26, 1967.

The cross is the Hugenottenkreuz, the cross of the Huguenots, as the village was founded by Count Ludwig von Nassau-Saarbrücken for Huguenot refugees from France from 1707 onwards. The escutcheon thus shows the arms of Nassau-Saarbrücken, to which the village belonged until 1803. The black field symbolises the industry and mining in the region.
